I havewa couple of 110Ah Banner batteries that need topping up. For the life of me I can't get the tops off! Tried all sorts of way to unscew them, but all I am doing is distorting the plastic. Is there a knack to it please?

Transparent sides show the level. Clever these AustriansHow do you know it needs topping up if you can't see inside?
No they are not - they are supposed to be filled up and there are 6 screw in tops on each to do so. But I can't unscrew them.Not stating the obvious but they are not the sealed for life type are they?

Graham, thank you so much. Spot on with both tips. A 20p coin plus pliers worked a treat. Thank goodness we had a 20p coin here in Portugal.I had similar problems when we got our van 3 years ago. Use a coin of appropriate size (I use a 20p) rather than a screwdriver.
@Terry gave me a tip and that is to use a pair of pliers to grip the coin rather than your fingers.
Glad it worked. Now that you have taken the caps off once you probably won't need the pliers in future - unless you've power-tightened them of courseGraham, thank you so much. Spot on with both tips. A 20p coin plus pliers worked a treat. Thank goodness we had a 20p coin here in Portugal.
