Battery topping up
Battery topping up
(OP)
Can anyone help me with this one....
Battery electrolyte topping up.
We have a reverse osmosis plant on site can we use that water to top up the batteries or do we need to get in
specific de-ionised water for this ?
I know the savings wouldnt be much it would just mean that we had a readily availiable source on site to tap into if required.

RE: Battery topping up
A couple of IEEE battery standards [450, 1375] seem mum on the subject. A call to the battery vendor may be in order.
RE: Battery topping up
RO is specifically for relatively large (compared to ions) particles. The DI beds are what get rid of the ions. The ions are what would screw up your batteries, although it's unclear whether a battery that's old enough to need topping off is really sufficiently pristine to demand pure DI water.

Thanks for the information
RE: Battery topping up
I remember Battery vendor recommendation which says water that is good for drinking is good enough for battery topping-up too.
