Pretty sure not overfill, & maybe not 2 quarts, 1-1/2 maybe,
After putting the cells cover on, I made a spray bottle with a baking soda mix & sprayed the tops
Had A little foaming
Them blew the water off with a leaf blower.

Does the OBC regulate the charge voltage, or is that regulated by the difference between the battery voltage / to the charger output voltage?

The OBC regulates the current on the negative charger wire as it passes through its SCR circuit, which indirectly regulates the voltage at the different stages of the charging cycle.

The max fill level for their standard series batteries is 1/4" below the bottom of the vent well as seen in the attachment.

Prob have a couple just touching the neck,
Will watch close for any bubbling out during charging

At least I added after a charge cycle, did something right,
Wait till you guys need glasses to find your glasses
.25, .125, 3.175 ha ha

How you see in the batt , to see the level while adding water ?

Maybe a battery fill jug is the answer

wooden matches

do not use open flames to look in batteries

i use a LED light and a small funnel

Son-a-britches
Wish you'd said that earlier
I just came in from checking for wet battlery tops
Good thing it's outside
I used my "carbide lantern" for a flashlight
