! ! Nah, even easier. Just take a look at a motorcycle,
! ! snowmobile, or jetski, or whatever else uses a motorcycle
! ! sized battery. They (almost) all have caps, to refille the
! ! levels.
! ! Replacement motorcycle batteries come with the acid in
! ! a seperate bottle, that you have to pour into the cells
! ! after you buy it. And there is _always_some acid left over,
! ! once you put the proper amounts in...

! In the case of a scooter battery I bought last year, there
! was a box of acid to install, but there was none left over.
! why would you not want to add all that was provided?

You want to follow the instructions. Mine said to fill to a certain level.
If you put in too much, it could boil up and go boom. Manufacturers give a
little extra, to account for air pressure differences (due to altitude and
such), and to account for spillage too.

! There
! was removable caps, but it was only for opening it up once
! to add acid, and then forever sealed.

Nothing a pair of pliers can't fix.

! One thing I can say
! about those batteries, they sure don't last long for being
! so expensive! If you let them go dead just once, they never
! recover.

If they get drained too far, yes. But that (normally) doesn't happen very
often.
