Default misted C electrolyte


"Nutcase Kook"


pH of 5 this yellow oily stuff, not conductive as far as paper soaked in
it
, 0.5mm probe tip separation and 30M



** What you have there sonny is " Ethylene Glycol" - ie what remains of
the electrolyte after all the water has boiled off.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethylene_glycol

" Ethylene glycol (IUPAC name: ethane-1,2-diol) is an organic compound
widely used as an automotive antifreeze and a precursor to polymers. In its
pure form, it is an odourless, colourless, syrupy, sweet-tasting liquid.
Ethylene glycol is toxic, and ingestion can result in death. "

Without any water, it is a non conductor.

But don't worry, it will absorb it from the air on any humid day.

Taste sweet does it ..............
