I asked because carbide lamps require regular refilling while, after the initial charge, batteries need only occasional replenishment (distilled water being preferred for both). If the still were used during the time of carbide lamps, even if at a different location at that time, it could be used for battery water as well.
I believe it was in the early 30's that carbide began it's decline for mining use.
