Thankyou so much

I have two blackbull 12v batteries and I wouldike to revise them before the weather warms up. So my questions are,1) im right in thinking ican use distilled water? Even tho there is some build up on the terminals? 2) where is the fill level to please?

They're lead acid batteries, I am if the understanding that they can't be in the house?
