Jennifer,
Your theory sounds good. I don't know much about this stuff, but I did top off my batteries every month with distilled water. I got 7 years out of them and Newell Service says that is the absolute most life that they had heard of from these kinds of batteries. They told me that they recommend replacement no longer than 3 1/2 years or so. Sounds like you will, in all likelihood, get new batteries and that you will be good to go for years to come, with routine maintenance on the water levels. Good luck tomorrow. It will feel good to get to the bottom of this challenge.
