I was told by my honda tech that my battery was only putting out 210 amps. He wanted to replace it, said the engine started slower than normal.
the battery number is: 31500-sda-a01. it has caps that can be removed and and the cells look dry. Can I add distilled water to it? If I can, will it help? I would like to keep this battery going for another year or so?

Adding water will help, however, the battery is most likely already junk. Replace it.
