If you are diluting acid for initial fill then I would be more picky.
I would use 5uS as a limit if someone wanted a number. This water can be either distilled or deionized.
If you live where you have soft water naturally (not through a softener) it would work fine for top off.

if you want your batteries to last as in station batteries, tap water is not a good idea unless you have a treated water RO system in place. Tap water is okay for consumer use, but it does shorten battery life

Depends on what type of water is being distilled. Seawater stills to typically have some small amount of salt carryover. That is why they have salinity cells on the distillage lines which dump the distillate if the carryover gets too high.

The question that you should be asking is what is the "Recommended Maximum Allowable Impurities in Water for Battery Use".

So here are the limits for elements commonly present in drinking water:
Ca 40 mg/l
Mg 40 mg/l
Total Soilds 100 mg/l
Nitrates 10 mg/l
Zinc 4 mg/l
Copper 5 mg/l
Iron 3 mg/l
I would doubt that anything labeled as "distilled water" would have any difficulty meeting these requirements.
