   Battery water

   Back in the dark ages you filled the battery until you saw a curved   
   rather than flat surface.  Is it the same now?  The battery in my 2013   
   Corolla was in it to my knowledge when I bought it in 2016 and I haven't   
   changed it.  I drive maybe 4K miles/year in SoCal.  The battery shows NO   
   hesitation whatever when cold starting.  I'm amazed that the thing has   
   lasted this long, but don't see a a reason to replace it.   
      
   Added some water, but didn't want to add too much -- if there is such a   
   thing short of actual overflow.  I liked the individual caps better than   
   the 3-cap thing it has now.  Overnight charging (2A, decreasing) allowed   
   cranking at 8 and 9V.   
      
   Am I being foolish, or would it be foolish to replace this seemingly   
   really good battery?
