Apparently my battery in my truck came out of its hold down bracket & tipped over while wheeling. I didn't realize it until a few days later when I was taking the truck off the trailer and noticed the spilled acid on the frame & the battery is dead.
In the past I've just used dilluted water to "top off" the battery, but I'm not sure that is all that I need to do in this case.
It took some searching, but I found that Napa sells battery acid. How do I go about refilling the battery? I know they have hydrometers to check specific gravity, but in this case, do I fill it back with straight acid or an acid/dilluted water mix of some ratio? I also read that temperature and battery charge affects the S.G. reading. Anyone have any advice?
