No, you should not put AC water in a battery. While AC (air conditioning) systems produce distilled water, this water isn't pure enough for use in batteries.
Why Not Use AC Water in Batteries?
Although AC units create water through condensation, this water often contains impurities or ions. These contaminants can damage the battery's internal components and reduce its lifespan. Experts strongly advise against using AC water for this purpose. Using purified or distilled water specifically designed for batteries is recommended.
- Impurities: AC water can contain minerals and other substances picked up from the air conditioning system.
- Ions: These electrically charged particles can interfere with the battery's chemical reactions, leading to performance issues.
- Reduced Lifespan: The contaminants in AC water can accelerate corrosion and damage inside the battery, shortening its overall lifespan.
Therefore, while technically AC water might seem like distilled water, its impurities make it unsuitable for use in a battery. Stick to using battery-specific distilled water for optimal results and battery health.
