Distilled water isn't really considered an electrolyte. Because it has been distilled, the water has had all its ions removed. No ions means no electrolytic properties. And before you jump on it, yes, there will still be some H+ and OH- ions in pure water. But water, if it's pure, won't conduct electricity and won't be considered an electrolyte.

What does distilled water do in an ups?
You have an UPS with a motorcycle battery in it, correct? You use the distilled water to top off the electrolyte in the cells.
Why do you give distilled water to a preson with heat stroke rather than electrolyte or glucose solution?
you will die
Why electrolysis does not take place in distilled water?
You will need a electrolyte for it conduct electricity such as sodium chloride (table salt).
Can electrolysis taken place by distilled water?
No because for electrolysis to take place, an electrolyte or ions like table salt ( NaCl ) is needed. But in distilled water there are no ions or electrolytes. Hence electrolysis cannot take place in distilled water. - Dumnledore
What compounds in the liquid phase can be considered an electrolyte carbon dioxide sodium chloride distilled water or hydrogen peroxide?
NaCl (sodium chloride)
Conductivity of distilled water nonelectrolyte stgrong electrolyte weak electrolyte?
Distilled water is a non electrolyte, since it doesn't contain free ions.
Can distilled water can use as electrolite in batteries?
Electrolyte is 35% Sulfuric acid and 65% distilled water. You can add distilled water to a battery that is low, but distilled water alone cannot be used as an electrolyte.
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
Is sodium chloride a strong electrolyte when distilled in water?
Yes, when is dissolved (not distilled) in water or when is melted.
What will be the purity of distilled water in car battery?

Should you top off your battery with electrolyte?
No, top it off with Distilled Water.
What is a electrolyte carbon dioxide sodium chloride distilled water or hydrogen peroxide?
sodium chloride (in aqueous solution or in molten state) is an electrolyte.
The electrolyte in a car battery is made of?
Around 65% Distilled Water & 35% Sulfuric Acid.
What is the purpose of distilled water in lead-acid batteries?
to protect electrolyte and plate fom corrosion
Can you add battery acid to car battery?
No, if it is low of electrolyte just add distilled water.
