Sump pump ask? I have a sound out regarding the back-up freestyle for the sump...

I have a sound out regarding the back-up freestyle for the sump pump. This morning the power went out for roughly speaking an hour. During the power out, the back-up battery for the sump pump kept beep. I tried to reset the battery, but the tootle continued. After the power came subsidise on, the battery kept beep. The back-up battery have a red light that stated to make the addition of more "distill water"...where do I put the distill marine? The battery is contained by a small plastic container with a cover over it next to some wires attached to it. Do I need a clean battery?
Answers:    yup
If you stretch out the battery box at hand will be caps that cover the cell. Add water to the queue and not an ounce more. Wipe everything with a throw away duster and replace the caps and cover.
