'Distilled' water is probably not, these days. Intensive energy requirements for that.

OK, battery might be in the wrong place - too hot - but more likely one cell is going bad (one cell water-need different to the rest?) or the whole battery is 'tired' (near worn out) or you have an over-charge situation for one reason or another.
