The base to use for battery acid is good old baking soda. Put a couple of table spoons into an 8oz plastic glass, stir. Bring it out with you before you start any battery work. It also works well to remove acid buildup on the posts. I frequently had to jump my gs850 using my F150. The water level was always good but the battery was on its last leg. I was just to cheap to flip for a new one.
