does anyone know about solar power batteries?

My little cottage in spain is powered with solar, I was away for a couple of months in the winter now I have returned all seemed well but the distilled water in the batteries has gone just to minimum. I have filled them up to maximum with more distilled water but now the solar doesnt seem to be charging up properly since I added the water to the batteries, I have to keep topping up the power with a generator, can anyone offer any advice as to why please.thank you
it’s possible you need new batteries. Just happened to my motorcycle batter over the winter.
When the lead plates oxidize, they lose their effectiveness as a battery, and this is more likely to happen when the battery voltage is low, and it’s cold out (or the water level gets low). Try sealed batteries, that may reduce the maintenance a little.
I still think that people are so ignorant when it comes to electric
cars they only think of one way to make them run and that’s batteries.
Its like you lost your mind and have no innovated ability to think of
more than one source of power. Every year people spend millions of
dollars to go to the gym they hop on bikes and treadmills and
ellipticals and pedal away for hours and then pay their gym for it.
Then they hop in their car and pay gas to ride home. The answer was
right in front of your face when you watched the Flintstones as a kid.
Do remember the car on the Flintstones. Hmm, not so stupid now is it?
Do remember how boats got across the ocean? Have you ever held your
hand outside the window and felt the power of the wind resistance
against your hand? The faster you went the more force you felt
pushing against your hand right. Have you noticed that the quality of
solar powered panel technology has increased tremendously in the last
twenty years. The quality of of generators and electric engines is
also there. Our government has manged to keep all of this from you
because they believe you are all ignorant and set in your ways. They
could make cars that run with out wheels but our government would
never allow it to be mass produced. If you had the means to build a
car that had electric generators that produced electricity via wind
power, Human power “recumbent bike pedals”, Solar power and maybe some
lithium batteries you would have a car that would go thousands of
miles without ever needing to be charged or fueled.
But will this ever be allowed. Its amazing that china and japan have
magnetic trains that never touch the track they actually float be we
never use that technology. Its no wonder they do not put any emphasis
on science. They want us to remain ignorant and in the dark. They want
you to keep forking all the billions of dollars in tax revenue. They
want the price of fuel to sky rocket because most of them own the
stock. The only way to overcome the greed is to take matters into our
own hands and break the grip of Fuel mongrels from ourselves by building
our own fuel free cars. I just showed you the way. Now all you have
to do is ” Just Do It!”
My method overcomes the perpetual energy law crap because you get extra energy, Via Human power and solar power! The sun is the source of unlimited free power and so what if you have to pedal your car for it to go long distances. I just saved you from getting fat as hell.

You may need to replace at least some of the batteries.
Depending how low the electrolyte level was at the point you filled them, exposed plates tend to warp and deform. Sometimes they can be reconditioned with pulse charging. If you have conventional constructed batteries, this circuit below should work. It may take some adjustments to get it to work correctly for yours.
One circuit you try is here:

You will have to construct it and apply it to one battery at a time.
Another circuit is here:

Again you are limited one battery at a time. This is one I plan to construct in the near future myself.
If the generator is applied until the batteries come up to 12.6 volts or higher, or full charge if you use a Hydrometer, they have lost capacity. The pulse charging system will work best if batteries are brought up as far as you can conventionally, and then start pulsing them. This currently is the only way to try to recover them.
The process does work, I use the process all the time.
