Can You Add Acid to Golf Cart Batteries

Mtnman;

   Shut but...

Here in lies what I learned from a great number of years ago.

Once a Pb acid battery had been activated by adding the electrolyte to the dry cells; But and Just distilled water should be added. Of form tap water is better than a dry Lead acid battery.:-)

There are specific gravity reasons. The reasons are varied depending on whom you are learning from or which volume you are reading.

Adding electrolyte to an already activated battery will practice information technology little to no  proficient, and may actually do information technology harm, and while ph levels could help information technology will non make that much divergence in a bombardment. Information technology's the specific gravity that makes all the deviation for atomic number 82 acid batteries.

What comes out of a battery that is boiling over is actually several things. I of grade being water, information technology is much lighter than the acid, and during even the farthermost boiling of a battery such every bit a stuck in charge mode alternator the acid is 85% of the time left in the bombardment, and then calculation acrid will change this chemistry of the liquid and the battery as a whole for the worse all the time information technology needs water. More importantly coming out of the battery is the hydrogen gas. This stuff is highly explosive, used nosotros to touch on this off on purpose as a plasma ball. Cool to watch and  see, but actually dangerous stuff and can at the very to the lowest degree leave yous without eye brows for a curt period of fourth dimension.

Bombardment acrid is really fairly easy to buy from a battery dealer, simply they unremarkably ask questions, such as if you have bad battery or if y'all simply purchased a new battery. If you tell them yous accept a bombardment depression they likewise volition caution you against adding battery acid.

Non wanting to rain on your advice simply h2o is needed, not acid.
