Nope he just disproved you. You lying sack of unskilled uneducated
septic tank scum.

Charging boils away water, not electrolyte and
as usual, you pretty obviously never practiced
your own advice.

If you think this proves your point, you can't read.

The only reason pure amateurs might need to handle
anything other than distilled water would be if they'd
foolishly followed your very bad advice on adding
electrolyte at the end of the charge cycle.

Whatever you did or didn't do in the service doesn't
change the fact that you gave bad advice either.

In normal service, batteries lose only water, not electrolyte
or acid or anything else you want to call it. The only reason
for adding anything other than water would be a spill.

In this case, your advice to an inexperienced newby that
he should add electrolyte is bad to the point of being
dangerous. Shame on you for offering it you pompous
buffoon.

Wrong. All you have to do is look at the clear plastic vent tube to
observe the
little droplets of sulfuric acid condensed on the inside.

And, anybody who ever pointed his vent hose towards the swing arm,
frame, or exhaust system has seen the evidence of acid on ferrous
metal parts.

"Dangerous"?

In what way?

Shame and guilt are bogus emotions that I don't indulge in.
