Not surprised by your findings. I will normally add 1 oz. or so per cell on my 12 volt deep cycle batteries each year. The jury is out as to whether or not I will get another year out of them. They were purchased March 2011 so year #7 begins. We will see.

Finally warm enough to open the barn door and start summerizing the rPod. This will be the third camping season. We have two Trojan batteries - 6v. I flipped open the caps and noticed something I hadn't seen before. The little plastic lip inside the cell says "water Level". I hadn't noticed that before.I could see water well above the plates. I started adding distilled water and was surprised that each cell - which looked nearly full - required 4 to 6 oz of water. to get up to the little lip. So I guess I hadn't been adding enough water before. The Pod is plugged in all the time. You might want to look at yours with a flashlight.
