Ok, Ok, that's a good explanation, but what type of funnel does one use to
get those electrons back in the battery?

I'm shocked, shocked to find that voltage is leaking around here.
You can recover some of that lost voltage by putting an oil-drain pan under
the car when you park it. Use a plastic pan, not a metal one because metal
doesn't hold voltage very well. And make sure the pan doesn't contain any
oil, either hot or cold. In the morning you just pour the voltage back into
the battery.
You should start doing this soon because if enough voltage leaks out the car
won't run until you can replace it. Original voltage is best, or NOS
voltage if you can find it. Aftermarket voltage varies in quality, and used
voltage should be avoided unless you know how much abuse it has been
through. Voltage for high-performance applications can be magnafluxed to
identify flaws, but it isn't currently done anywhere AFAIK.
