     writes:

    Salt water would be disasterous for topping up a battery.
    Pure RO water would also be quite OK for a battery.
    Shore water only in an absolute emergency.

    Sorry I misread your message about salt water and batteries.

    My tests a few days ago, reported on the list, indicate that RO product
    water is saltier than the shore water in my tank taken on in Rockland ME. I would
    use neither for topping off my batteries. I use only store-bought distilled
    water which had zero TDS.
