no water in battery??

i was playin around with my car and thought i would check the fluid levels, and there was no water in the battery!!

what causes that?

unless youve rolled upside down and havent noticed?...
then possibly your alternator is overcharging and boiling the battery. It dosent still work does it?- was it like bone dry?

battery works all good, but i couldnt see any water at all, and it took a bit of water, not sure how much they hold

when filling you want to just cover the plates by around 1cm usually. some batterys have a plastic 'foot' which goes down from the breather to show the level to fill to. others are clear and have a level.
have you noticed any smells while driveing?- boiling batteries sometimes smell like rotorua

if it's an oldish battery, or you just haven't checked it in a while, don't panic.

If it's a newish battery, and you have checked it recently, then check as above mentioned that it isn't overcharging.

first time ive checked it since i had the car and the battery came with it, i will just keep an eye on it and see what happens.
