There is a 'max' or 'upper limit' marking on the battery? Follow that, sometimes a b it difficult to see the level from outside, so just estimate.

if difficult to see the level from outside, you can check the level by opening and looking into each cell

add demineralized/distilled water up to the UPPER LEVEL line

you will get more information on page 8-21 of owner's manual .........

It is their standard advise given.
I changed the battery from TCM less than a month a go and after servicing i got the same advice on the report.

That is their default template, never change one, some items they never check also tick checked & passed

Well....at least if things go wrong, they can't deny not having checking it.....some sort of guarantee i suppose...

Even for MF battery, still have to check (check the color to see if it is time to change battery).
