Most lead-acid battery manuf. recommend adding distilled or deionized water. I was talking today to a distributor of said batteries who seemed pretty much on the ball about every minutia regarding large batteries, and he said they just use regular city tap water. Told me about one guy who took super good care of his electric forklift, (such that he even *waxed* the damn thing), who told him his battery lasted *25 years* and he just used Greenville, SC tap water.
My theory is that the whole "distilled" or "deionized" bit may be a blanket statement such that users don't use *well* water, which may indeed have some problematic particulants, but most municipal water should be ok.
Thoughts ?
