This is the acid (by the way acid is usually more conductive than water) that causes the ions/electrons to move thru the battery thus having a great ability to be conductive.
I note that both you and the official literature refer to alkalines as acids. Is this particular to the company, or to chemical engineening?

tap water is any where from 250-300 microSiemens/cm depending on the region of the country you live in.
How 'bout distilled water? (I don't know anyone that uses tap water.)

The conductivity claims were tested by SF Analytical in Milwaukee Wisconsin. I can probably get a copy of the document which states these conclusions. If you want to get a copy of this document then get me your email and I'll get a copy scanned and sent off to you if I can work it out.
I'll take you up on that offer. E-mail address is: me.groth [at] sbcglobal.net

If I can be of further assistance in understanding anything I'll be around.
It'll be good to have a ChemE around, for a bit of expert assistance in some of the corrosion threads.
