- Use a mirror and a light if you have enough room. - You can take a picture in the holes with your cell phone. - I use a turkey baster with a clear piece of hose attached, about 15 inches long. - Problem is over filling which is not good when you can't see what is going on. - Put a little amount and take another picture. That's a lot of shots.
Lots of trouble. You probably can remove the batteries just as fast.

Use the turkey baster or a baby bugger sucker to fill with. On one of the cells you can see in get the water level right then take something (I use a wooden peg) put it in and mark where the water level is - then as you fill the ones you can't see just check it with the mark you made.

They make a fitting to use while filling that does it automatically. https://accessories.lazydays.com/flowrit...CFda6wAodYKUHtw

Thanks I have the same issue with two of mine, cant get in there and its major surgery to get them out. I use the mirror and light method with a turkey baster, but its a beating.

Buy a sports water bottle and add a long plastic hose. Then use a mirror to watch for full level.

That device is for 6 volt batteries that are used in golf carts and rv's. Don't think it could be modified. Different hole size and 3 holes per battery. I think?
