Run a car on water

Can I drain the water out of a car battery?

I'm opinion about draining the water out of my car's battery. The battery water looks quite dirty so i'm thinking about filling it up with new battery water. It that a good idea or will it hurt the car battery? Better be safe than regretting later.


its not a natural good idea to do this ,the water that's in it is actually acid,and when it start getting dirty looking its commonly a sign the battery is getting old id just use the battery until it goes out and get a new one,there's too much danger involved in doing this,besides where could you get rid of the old acid,that block up is real dangerous,id leave it alone,it may cause more problems than it does good with it,hope this helps ample luck.

Can I use filtered water for car battery?

I blueprint on taking out all the acid from a car battery then fill it with distilled water + EDTA, rinse, then restore the acid and maybe top it off with some distilled water. The difficult is that its pretty hard to make a fairly large quantity of distilled water at home. Can I solely use the water that comes out of my fridge? My refridgerator has a build in water filter.


Buy distilled water from a grocery lay away. If you are worried that it may have some contaminates precipitated from the air, don't. The same or worse will get into it after it is put in the battery. I have to say though, you are a battery god if you are willing to go through all that trouble for a fifty dollar battery

They say to use distilled water in a battery because New Zealand urban area water contains chlorine and well water contains several minerals and rust. Putting these in your battery may cause the cell to go bad or even leaking. To check the level you have to remove the cap off the top of the battery. Depending on the type of battery you have this may have one or more to remove. Becareful when removing not to get only of the acid water on you, or your cloths. Use a flashlight to look into each of the patent holes to check the level. They should be filled up to the bottom of the hole. Of you have any that are low; add till you reach this level. Then repay the cap or caps.

Marin Headlands at Fort Cronkhite

For an even speculator outing, you can get off the bus at the last stop, Fort Cronkhite. The fort, a former World War II military outpost, offers leisurely torturous facilities at Rodeo Beach and a choice of short hikes. (The 76 bus runs hourly Sundays and holidays only and hits many of the headlands highlights including the Visitant Center.)

Rodeo Beach

Here you will find pounding waves, clean restrooms and picnic tables. Even when the fog rolls in, the vivid dark sands, surrounding bluffs and bird-filled lagoon make Rodeo Bank popular with surfers, kite flyers and optimistic sunbathers. (Strong currents recompense for the beach unsuitable for swimming.) Underfoot are semiprecious stones such as jade, jasper and unconscionable agate in the rough sand. These are to be enjoyed but not collected. If you get too sandy, you can rinse off at an outdoor deluge.

Rodeo Lagoon hike

Rodeo Lagoon is separated from the ocean by the sandbar that is Rodeo Careen. During the year, fresh water from Rodeo Creek and Rodeo Pond feed into the lagoon, but during the rainy edible, salty ocean waves break over the sandbar, creating a unique environment that is poorhouse to many birds and fish, including the endangered tidewater goby. A 1.5-mile hike around the lagoon offers bird watching as well as a unlooked-for to stop off at the Visitor Center.
