Battery charging depletes hydrogen ions in both lead-acid batteries and Edison batteries. This reduces the liquid levels, because the hydrogen turns to a gas and dissipates into the atmosphere. This needs to be replaced with distilled water. When the hydrometer indicates the acid density has dropped below 1.2 (20% heavier than water) then the acid needs to be replaced in the battery.

∙ 16y agoYes. Only distilled or deionized water should be used to refill lead/acid batteries. This is to avoid mineral buildup.
Wiki User
∙ 9y agoYou cannot use purified water instead of distilled in a battery because it will conduct electricity. Only distilled water has been proven to interrupt the conduction of electricity.

∙ 12y agoyes,because distilled water is just like purified water
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoYes, you should used distilled water in the battery and in the cooling system. Reason being is that distilled water contains no impurities and no metals.
Wiki User
∙ 8y agoNot a good idea. Distilled water is non conductive, whereas non distilled water contains conductive minerals.

Can Purified water be substituted for Distilled water in machiines used for Sleep Apnea?
Yes it can... Purified and distilled water are essentially the same substance. Purified water has been filtered to remove any contaminants, and treated to remove any trace chemicals (such as chlorine). Distilled water has been heated to boiling point - the pure steam created is then fed through a pipe into a cooling system - so that the steam turns back into liquid water.
What is type of water used in refractometer?
Deionized, distilled water
Why do in all laboratories milli-Q water is used for making solution and what are the properties of milli-Q water?
Because Milli-Q water is water that has been purified to remove extra ions and othr stuff that are found in water and might interfere with experiments. It is actually Triple distilled , so ULTRA PURE..
Why is distilled water used in the preparation of culture media?
no
How does impure water conduct electricity?
If by "purified" you mean distilled, then no. It will not conduct electricity. Some bottled water companies define filtered water or spring water as "pure," but that does not mean purified. Distilled water is water that has everything but water removed.
Why is distilled water not used as electrolyte?
Distilled water is used as electrolyte, topping off lead acid batteries for example or any application where purified water is required

Why were the swabs soaked in distilled water rather than tap water?
Distilled water means purified and clean. It is used to instead of tap water because in tap water there can be dirt and particles that can be a contaminating if put on a swab and used in the human body.
Is distilled a lipid?
No. The term "distilled" is an adjective used to refer to a substance that has been purified by boiling it to separate it from less volatile impurities. For example chemistry labs often use distilled water.
What is the use of distilled water?
Water is liable to contain various things dissolved in it. Distilled water is water that has been distilled; this means that the water has been heated to the point that some of it vapourises. This vapour is then passed over a cold surface which condenses it into water. The vapour that was produced was almost pure water vapour, and so is the re-condensed "distilled water" almost pure water.
Can you use demineralized in your sleep apena machine they only use distilled water?
Deionized water can be used in place of distilled.
What preparations are associated with colonic irrigation?
Preparations. Most practitioners prefer that distilled or purified water is used for colonic irrigation, but others use sterilized tap water.
What is purified water used for?
Purified water is used for many applications, including: laboratory testing, laser cutting, and automotive use, the manufacture of pharmaceutical products, the commercial beverage industry, deionised and distilled water is used in lead-acid batteries.
Are there any difference between distilled water used for batteries and distilled water used for terbine washing?
No, distilled water is distilled water.
Will purified water hurt your cpap machine?
That depends on how the water was purified. The thing you want to avoid is dissolved minerals, which can build up in the humidifier of the CPAP. Distilled water is recommended because dissolved minerals cannot cross the distillation process. Other forms of "purification" such as filtering or semi-permeable membranes can leave minerals dissolved in the water. With that said, I bought distilled water from a drugstore in Japan that was also labeled (in English) "Purified water". I have also used tap water on rare occasions when distilled water was not feasible. After doing so, I clean out the humidifer with vinegar (which dissolves the mineral residue - be sure to rinse well!).
Can purified water be used in humidifiers?
You must use distilled water in a breathing machine whenever possible. Purified water and other types of water have minerals that over time, will clog up the machine.
Can Mineral Water be used in batteries?
No, distilled water is the only water that can be used in batteries. Distilled water contains no chemicals or minerals.
