Just a little side note for record keeping: added 2 L of distilled water to the batteries today. That represents about 6 weeks of water consumption.

Note that earlier last month I added 6 L of water... because I hadn't been checking them regularly over the winter and let them get too low.

Need to look into making a solar water distiller so I'm not getting store bought water that's been trucked from here to eternity if I can produce it passively & "sustainably" relatively easily.
