I started moving the 2V cells finally, after moving them the electrolyte looks like very rusty water... I wasn't expecting that. Also the battery box kept the cells tight together and now that i removed them to the new box they are not as tight so the electrolyte levels have dropped below the plates.
Is it ok to just top them up with distilled water or would this water down the electrolyte too much?
I didnt want to press them as tightly together but can if I have to.
Is the rusty color a major concern or just part of aging batteries?
I couldnt see much at the bottom of the batteries but its not clear plastic so hard to tell.
Thanks
Jamie
Jamie: Why not continue this on the original thread about it rather than spread it over multiple threads? Be lots more sensible to confine it to one story. Set this one
read only so you can see this understand why it is not a good practice to open multiple threads on the same basic thing.
