How often do you check your battery level water?

Untill I installed a "Smart Battery Charger" they needed checking once
a week. Now once a month is fine. Having a 79FC checking the batteries
is a challange to say the least. I made a battery filler/checker. I
used a water alarm it's sold for warning you of a flooded basement. I
made 2 probes that are the correct length for my batteries this is the
checker section. The filler consists of a gallon jug and a small hand
pump. The tube from the pump has the probes on it. Stick the end in
each cell and add water untill the alarm sounds. Now it takes more time
to remove the caps. Cost less than 30$. The auto filler sounds great,
but I like to check the cables and compartment as well.
