Hi Matt et al,
Sorry for missing my que to respond.
As mentioned, the big concerns is mineral content in the water which will
adhere to the plate and "take the place" of a possible reaction site - thu

U-Bet, Ray. It's not like the bloody things are cheap! =(:>/

We have hard water here too, good to know that our distilled water

Jamie,
And since the vast majority of groundwater and artificial lake water is
very high in calcium chloride out here in the far West, using
untreateted tap water is like murdering your batteries.

This is a majorly bad idea! Tap water usually contains dissolved minerals that
will screw up battery plates, reduce or increase conductivity and generally
void battery warrantees.
Am I correct about this Jamie?

I could also add electrolyte to the cells with the lowest SG after all this,
but how much to add is a real crap shoot. Can anyone offer guidance on
adding electrolyte to compensate for spillage?
Hi Alan,
The process is called "acid Balancing" the battery and it is done in exactly

Some of the single point battery watering systems have a pressure
regulator that plumbs right to the water tap with a small filter.
Apparently we in the solar business are more anal about using
distilled water than many other battery users.

Hi Bruce,
FYI, Deionized water is commonly used in battery manufacturing and large motive

Allen Sindelar was polling for information/opinions about deionized water
versus distilled for lead battery top-up. Since "genuine steam distilled" H2O
can be bought for $0.69 per gallon, why take chances on anything else? There
are enough other possible problems without creating more for ourselves
And one final question: In my original post I asked if deionized water was
the same as distilled water. Nobody addressed this question. The customer
said he investigated (Wikipedia, I think) and found no difference. Any
other
opinions, or (even better) definitive answers on this?
Thank you,

Wrenches,
I had promised a followup post on what I learned when I inspected this
client's batteries. The short form of the original issue (original post
query is at bottom): client had as recently as June been able to EQ from his
array to 31.1V, now couldn't get past 30.7.
There are a few good les
