Actually I like to hold back the level an additional 1/4". Give it some room!
I have discovered often customers are overfilling leading to messy battery 
scenes.
A note on Hydro caps. Properly working they are a closed system, hence no 
fluid should be leaking out. Be sure they are actually working (temperature rise 
is the best way). If they stop functioning (and they do). they can build 
pressure to the point of blowing tops off of batteries. They do not last forever 
and require maintenance. In attention could have bad consequences.
