While drilling my last vent hole in my new battery box I got into the middle cell of one of two of my 6v golf cart batteries. (Idiot)
It lost most of the liquid. After a quick repair with some epoxy I pulled about a quarter of fluid from the other two cells and topped all three off with distilled water and put both on my battery tender/charger in series.
Will I need battery acid tomorrow? Not sure if I did stuff right but didn't want cell exposed long. The batteries are three years old and lithium would be my choice when they were depleted but not ready for that yet. I read to have two matched 6v. Is this going to screw me up? If I bought a new one to replace should I be buying two new then?
