hello, everybody, I have 2019 bighorn looking at the battery box I was told I have 2 batteries looking at it it's going to be a pain to check the water levels on them. looks like I have to remove the terminals on the battery to remove the cover to get to them I can see the box has screws holding it close. so now maybe I can cut around the battery terminals on the cover so I don't have to remove the terminals on the battery to remove the cover.so what do you think maybe someone out there did it already. when I remove the terminals will i lose any memory in any of the systems. thanks for any help i can get.

If you have a large black plastic sealed battery storage box, you can just remove the screws around the edges of it and tip it up to access the batteries. If you want to completely remove the top, just remove the battery cables from it, but you do not have to remove the terminal connectors from the box lid.

Another option is to upgrade to two group 31 AGM batteries. No maintenance

here is the solution to your problem. Or suffer every time you need to check the water level. I had your same feeling. WHAT A PAIN, however there is a reason for that arrangement. It is to properly vent the batteries and case to the outside. I took one look and bought this. Now it takes two minutes at best to fill the batteries.

Plus 1 on this. Easy addition and simple to fill. No need to check the battery. Just connect the fill and pump it every month. Greatest addition I've done for ease of service.
ok i tryed to open the top of the battery box that is the simple I get it pushed up not much room under it to do anything in my box. the box itself is to small for both batteries I think. the batteries in there have no caps I can pull off. i can't get my head in far enough to check the water level if it had caps to pull off. battery cables cross over the battery so i could remove the caps if they had them on there.i have a pic of batteries but I don't know how to post them in here.i haven't seen a battery like this before it has a handle on it to carry it i don't think its sealed don't look like it has any vents on the top either. I can send a email to anyone to check out those batteries.

Here is a link to may thread of the box I used to fit 4-12V Batteries in our rig. I have now went to 2 150Ah Lithium Ion batteries NO maintenance at all.
