Use “distilled” water.

Amazon or Summit have the best prices for the Optima 6v. batteries.
2 yrs. ago I got a 6v. Optima from Amazon for $113 incl. shipping.

I have a 1988 Mercury Grand Marquis with 46,000 miles on the clock. It has a Interstate battery in it that has been in it since 2000. That is 18 years!

twelve volt batteries have lasted longer for me. I've got one that is 12 years old and still hoding up good in my roadster.
