Has anyone ever taken the auto fill nozzle from the standard battery filling bottle and modified it to work in a tight spot? I was thinking of taking the nozzle to Ace to see if the threads would allow for a pvc adaptor.

I have the same problem with my Club Car D/S. The outside cells on batteries on the sides can be a bit hard to get at. I was considering cutting the body of the cart back a bit.
As far as the BB dipstick goes, water doesn't stick to the one that I have. I put it in and it comes out dry.
I managed fleets of golf carts for many years and was always told that the water should just touch the bottom of the flanges inside the filler hole. Some of the guys at BB tell me that's not good, but then one of their techs told me that it's fine.
Like I said, that the wat I was taught by golf cart manufactures and that's the way I did it for years. It was never a problem.
