Chassis Battery..water refill unit

So my take after a year now is that the conditions were corrected before the dominos started to fall The charging systems can also cause boil-off (I've had this on 2 RVs) but boil off in just a couple cells doesn't point me to blaming the charger.

Most of my battery issues over the years have had an exposed cell condition. Keeping cells topped off at proper levels helps batteries last a long time. I'm all for prolonging the engine battery extraction!!!
TyCreek...Ron is considering the water filling unit for the Chassis battery.
I read your opinion and that of others...you feel this is the way to go?
Did you order from Amazon ?

Thanks
Kay
