"Turkey basters work pretty well also."

Best I've found are hypodermic syringes, large ones.

Over the years, I've been pretty remiss in taking proper care of my
batteries.

They're always deep in the hold someplace; I NEVER have distilled water
on
hand, and there are always other things that are easier and more fun to
do
than check the water level and re-fill the batteries.

Yesterday, I discovered that the former owner of my latest toy ( a 16 ft.
Carolina Skiff) not only buried the battery belong a deck, he also hadn't
added water to the cells in a long time. I also realized that re-filling
it
in place was going to be a chore.

For once, ( since the level was so low) I went to the store and bought
some
distilled water. I also picked up a baby bottle, ( mostly because I
couldn't
find a funnel in a grocery store). I cut a 1/4 inch opening in the end
off
of the nipple and now have a handy way to direct the water stream right
into
the cell openings.

Just thought I'd share.
