Dan, We've been using the garden sprayer method for the last 14 years and it works great! Be sure to buy a sprayer with a plastic wand......the brass wands can create a bit too much excitement.....

I also do not use automatic or central battery watering systems, as I feel they give a false sense of security. Nobody is in there regularly checking for loose connections and corrosion. My most important battery bank tool is a thermal imaging camera that connects to my smartphone.

When we do an install i aways include a one gallon pump weed sprayer with distilled water, we cut the sprayer tip off and it is an easy and fast way to fill batteries, this is a cheap way too. Battery automatic fills are fine but there is no subsutute for eyes and hands on inspections. Just wanted yo pass along a easy battery filling solution.
