You fill to the bottom of the hole, that allows some air gap between the top of the fluid and the top of the case. too much and it will leak out the vent holes and you do not want that on your car.
The vent holes should have a plug in at the firewall end and have a catch basin whatsit on the other end.
- Check the water level every couple of months. It should be just touching the bottom of the refill hole.
- Refill the battery, when needed, with distilled water. Don't use tap water, which produces corrosion on the terminals.
- Don't overfill the cells. Just to the bottom of the refill hole is perfect.
