Err, it did, does and will continue too like all my cars. As did my vans and my trucks. And as for all the leisure batteries I used for electricity for ten years well they all took at least 4 times the number of charges they were designed to take so you just keep using an unnecessarily expensive product where you don't need too and keep up the laughing.

Quite aside from the fact that you are wrong (you DO put distilled water into a car battery!) was there any need for any of that ^^ in your last few posts?

Can you buy distilled water on the high street?, by clipit101 on Apr 6, 2008 22:56:31 GMT 1, Yes i do as it happens using the wrong product in your car can lead to horific results. The iron within the water in a car battery can cause a static charge within said Iron particles which in turn can cause a spark if this charge becomes of a hightened potency. Any spark therefore given off when the car is brought to motion has a potential to interfere with the workings of the car. This is what is called within the emergency services as ISC. Ignorent Spontanious Combustion.

Is there really any need to throw abuse like that at someone here? Also, no bullshit is mentioned whatsoever, you can use distilled or deionised water in batteries..
If in doubt, take it up with the Institute of Advanced Motoring here..

..think you ought to retract your comments and uneducated statements.
Fireman? obvious you still need, or are in training.. haha!

Can you buy distilled water on the high street?, by clipit101 on Apr 6, 2008 23:06:44 GMT 1, A car battery is a very dangerous box of tricks. Most things can hurt you if you do something wrong, but a battery has got more ways of damaging people than you might expect. Don't go near them unless you know what you are doing and take proper precautions.

Not that im making any excuses. I know though for a fact that distilled isn't the safest of the two but still you pose a very valid point. I apologise.

However its de-ION-ised water. It has nothing to do with iron or de-IRON-ised water!!!
Ions carry a charge iron is a lump of metal. However, both would probably screw your motor.
Agree on the abuse. Rural's enough!!
Let us know how the ironing/ioning went of the dink
