    UPS battery has internal plates that are covered with water,
    which makes it work. Throughout operation, water goes through chemical reaction
    and breaks down into hydrogen and oxygen gas. These gases evaporate from
    battery and with time water level drops. In this manner plates remain no longer
    covered with water. In order to keep the battery, perform efficiently, it is
    very important to top it up with distilled water.



     



    Why use distilled
    water for UPS battery?



    Water from faucets, wells and other natural deposits
    typically has liquefied minerals, salts and impurities. These minerals and
    salts fill the pores and form a layer on the plates, impacting the typical
    electro-chemical reaction that creates power in the battery. Existence of such
    chemical ions may dramatically minimize the life-span of the battery. Filtering
    tap water merely eliminates the suspended matter however not the dissolved
    minerals and non-ionic compounds. Advanced filters like ion-exchange or
    triggered carbon filters get rid of most of the ionic and larger non-ionic
    compounds leaving smaller particles in solution.



    Pure water includes no liquefied minerals, salts, organic
    and in-organic substances that may hurt the battery. For that reason, battery
    manufacturers suggest pure water for much better performance and longer battery
    life.



     



    Can RO water be
    utilized in battery?



    Reverse osmosis is a various procedure from distillation. RO
    water is also thought about mineral-free like pure water. The process of
    reverse osmosis eliminates all kinds of undesirable impurities, salts and ions
    from water, making it fit for human usage. Routine service and maintenance of
    RO keeps the firmness, pH and TDS under acceptable limitation.



    Numerous UPS service centres utilize and suggest RO water
    for the battery top up, but they keep a check on TDS level, solidity and pH of
    water utilized to make sure that battery function is not hampered. However, it
    is always recommended to use pure water for your UPS batteries.
