Tap water bad! You would not have to have driven very far to find some distilled water. If I am wrong about that then you did a good thing to get you where you needed to go but don't start a new thread in the future about your batteries not lasting as long as they should have.
Wow, not a lot of stores open at 10 PM in Mt. to drive to and buy distilled water after dark in the snow. I have treated my batteries well, they are 9 years old I figured topping off with tap water one time is better than no water as someone else posted. I wanted to charge the batteries overnight to keep the cells from freezing solid and really doing damage, the overnight temperatures were 4 degrees.
