Luxury Coach Lifestyles - View Single Post - distilled water vs purified water for batteries

I only use Distilled Water in my Batteries. The rest of the waters would have dissolved solids or minerals in them. These minerals will stick to the lead plates and shorten the life of the batteries. I use TROJAN T-105 6 Volts DC Batteries for the House and since they are 5 years old and still going strong it works well for me.
I have found Distilled Water at Walmart nut usually buy it at the Grocery Store. I also only use Distilled Water in my Radiators.
