   Has anyone wondered whether the "pure" water will be "leaching" out the   
   chemistry of the lead:acid plates inside the battery?   
      
   Having owned a pool, all water chemistry tends toward equilibrium, and   
   dissolved salts (metal and a non metal) are no exception to the rule.   
      
   So the more pure the water, the more it will dissolve a bit of that   
   lead:acid compound that they slather on the plates between rubber sheets.   
      
   Has anyone thought of that?
