The battery is one of the most important components in a vehicle's engine. Its main function is to store electrical energy and deliver it to other components. The combustion system heavily relies on the energy delivered by the battery.

Ensuring the battery water is at the correct volume is very important. The battery water should not be below or above the required level. There are two types of red and blue bottle batteries that you can use to fill the battery water. But what is the difference between the two?

Difference Between Red and Blue Bottle Batteries

The two types of battery water bottles sold in the market have their own differences. But what exactly distinguishes the two types of battery water? Here is a complete review!

Red Bottle Battery Water

Battery water with a red bottle cap is known as Zuur battery water. The characteristics of this battery water are its yellowish color and strong acidic nature. Zuur battery water indeed contains a sulfuric acid electrolyte solution that functions to conduct and store electrical power within the battery.

Usually, Zuur battery water is used to fill the battery for the first time, due to its strong electrolyte properties. However, when you refill it, it is very important to be careful. Zuur battery water, which contains sulfuric acid, can cause irritation when it comes into contact with skin. Additionally, it can cause rust when it comes into contact with metal materials.

Blue Bottle Battery Water

Battery water with a blue bottle cap is usually referred to as distilled battery water. This type of battery water is regular water that has undergone demineralization or distillation and is free from mineral content.

Minerals contained in water have corrosive properties that can damage the battery cells. Therefore, blue bottle battery water is highly recommended to be added to the battery when the battery water starts to decrease from the required volume. However, the addition should not exceed the lower level limit.

By adding blue bottle battery water, the liquid volume inside the battery can increase without affecting the density of the electrolyte inside.

So what happens if red bottle battery water is added to a battery that is starting to decrease in volume? It will certainly cause problems for the battery, as the electrolyte content inside will change and not match the recommended levels.

Therefore, it is very important to use red or blue bottle battery water according to their respective functions.
