What if you did use non distilled water?
I did not use distilled water the last time I filled the batteries.
Should I: a) dump out water and add new acid and distilled water b) dump out a little and add distilled water c) Dont worry about it this time, but swear never to do it again d) Do all of the above and Kick my own ***? thanks Spots |

Re: What if you did use non distilled water?
I would answer "C". The answer is always "C". No but seriously, I wouldnt worry about it this time. I've used the garden hose for years without a problem and have just recently decided to start using the distilled water.

d
  I've never used distilled, but my batteries usually go dead from sitting in the warehouse to long. Don't think you need to worry, but it is good practice to use distilled. |

Re: What if you did use non distilled water?
The answer could be C, but depends on the quality of your water.

Re: What if you did use non distilled water?
Water quality has a lot to do with it. We use tap water on our fleet and still get 4-5 yrs from a set of TROJANS.

Re: What if you did use non distilled water?
It will be ok I am sure but the reason for using the distilled is because the minerals can build up and cause the batteries plates to short out .
