Have you tried Googling it? Hehehe...

But seriously, I think I've seen this posted on here before a long time ago. Someone should have an answer. From memory, it wasn't anything major.

Battery Fluid not enough? Weird.
No "stance", no "hellaflush", none of that bullshit. Nothing but no grip on full boost.

Battery fluid = electrolyte

So it means you're low on electrolytes and need some Powerthirst (more-o-lytes than your body has room for).

You can get electrolytes from powerthirst and brawndo. What is an electrolyte? I don't know but plants crave them, and it's way better than water because water comes from the toilet and have you ever seen plants grow out of a toilet?

did you replace the fluid completely, or just top it up? Topping it up would dilute the electrolytes, I'd suggest draining the battery completely and refilling with your choice of electrolyte-enhanced lolly-water
