watering question

[LT4Ryan]

Howdy - currently, I am having a lot of trouble sourcing distilled water. I checked my batteries, and one of the cells is low and needs a top off. A couple of questions:

-I've seen the guys at my club use a hose that isn't connected to a filter/softener to fill fleet carts. Is that OK? I assume that's a very short term deal as they only keep carts 3 years

-Given that I don't know when I will find distilled water, should I leave the cart connected to the charger or unplug it?

Can't answer your technical question, if your near ACE Hardware they typically carry it.

If water is below the plates unhook charger. You can use tap water if you have no other. One time case.

If it was me I wouldn’t leave it plugged in.

As for water from best to worst: distilled, city, well

I would only fill the cells that the plates are showing then only enough to cover them if you don’t have distilled water.

If you’re quarantined you could always make your own for something to do. Give Google a go. Maybe after the pandemic you can become a small barrel distillery.

BTW Don’t sweat the small stuff.

HA! Yes, I am quarantined - it was one cell and it got me a little worried. Definitely have my priorities in order but thought about it today so I figured I would ask. Stay safe and thank you for the reply - a little unsoftened city water it is!

It's not too difficult to make some distilled water with the supplies you have at home. A quick google search will show lots of options. Good luck!
