car battery - really necessary to use distilled water??

What percentage of cars on the road actually have a battery that needs topping up? Even many classic cars will have a sealed battery fitted.

Sorry, I don't know the answer to that question.

But if you can possibly wait until just after midnight, our friend Sassy-one will be here with the definitive answer.

my granddad taught me to "make" my own battery top-up water from the frost inside my freezer. After letting it melt we just used a jug to top up the battery. The only thing was to use the frost from the top/freezing element, not the bottom of the freezer( that way you avoided the odd stray pea and other food particles).

I don't know what difference it made to tap water, but it always worked
