Default Battery electrolyte question

Disclaimer: I don't know a lot about the technical aspects of batteries, nor
do I claim to !

I have three group 27 batteries and a 3 stage charger that stays on 24/7.
I'm guessing the charger does pretty well at adjusting it's rate, as I find
I only need to add a very small amount (one squirt or two from a bulb) of
liquid to the batteries every 6 - 8 weeks or so. I was using distilled
water as recommended but it occurred to me that, at some point, the battery
would have all water and no electrolyte left. I'm sure I'm flawed in my
thinking here, so enlighten me.

So anyway, I've taken to stoping by Sears and picking up the small
containers of electrolyte (they're cheap enough) and topping off with them.
Am I doing damage ? A good thing ? Makes no difference ?

thanks

jim bailey
