waskawood Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 I know you are suppose to use distilled water when adding water to your batteries. My question is, can you use water from a reverse osmosis water purifier without harming your batteries? Thanks for any help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 JohnMickish Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 I would think that would be ok, but you can get a gallon of distilled water for under a buck, why risk it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 waskawood Posted May 6, 2006 Author Share Posted May 6, 2006 Ok, I am sorry I asked. I always have my purified water on hand. I don't always have a bottle of distilled water so I wanted to know if it would hurt my batteries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Surface Tension Posted May 7, 2006 Share Posted May 7, 2006 Distilled water dosen't have the minerals. Mineral build up is what eventually kills a battery. If you have a dehumidifier you can use the collection water from that. Saves you a trip to the store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
