Steve - it's no riddle! Only the water evaporates. The acid components
remain at the same concentration - so as long as you keep adding DISTILLED
water, all of the concentration ratios should remain constant....
Think about evaporating seawater, the salt always stays behind!

Subject: Battery Top Up
Hi All
A riddle for you to ponder. If I keep topping up my
batteries (both car and bike) with distilled water how
come I don't end up with severely diluted acid? Is it
worth saving the acid from old batteries to use when
topping up? What do you think and what do you do?
I would have thought that topping up with battery acid
is better than water but I have been told it could
result in too high a concentration of acid in my
battery. Most of the time I'm too lazy to use the
hydrometer.
Cheers
Steve
