Battery acid or Distilled water?

Bigbondo007 · 04-21-2017, 06:56 PM

Just wondering really. 6 quarts cost $13 at the parts store, I've always used this in lieu of dw.

What do the engineers at your battery manufacturer recommend adding to their product?

And golf cart suspension is only made for 8mph

I'm pretty sure speed code 4 is a standard option at <20 mph.

Was expecting a touche lol but ok. My purpose was to find pros/cons of using one over the other

Adding Acid would probably reduce charging time.

Adding water, it floats on top,
takes a while to mix in & acidify

Not like you add enough to bring the SOC up much.
On the next charge cycle after filling, You'd save a little
on electricity after you add acid instead of water

Wonder if you'd mess with a CC OBC.

Hmm. Haven't thought about that. But doesn't the obc already assume the mixture is 100 percent?

Distilled water is 95 cents a gallon, it is a lot safer to work with. Sulfuric acid is a mix of distilled water and battery acid you change the ratio. And it just ant normal.

This is a joke, right?

Lol, no joke but never had a problem with it. Use it every now nd then for etching too.
