Your best bet is to use distilled water, since it's the purest. You can buy it by the gallon at Wallmart, K-mart and other stores for about .70 per gallon. It's not all that expensive. Chlorinated water can kill a battery in no time as well as tap water that has contaminants or water conditioners like lime, etc.
