Accident - What happend to my car?
Sitting in traffic and all of a sudden I got rear ended and in the process ran into the car in front of me. Long story short, my car wouldn't start afterward. When turning the ignition all these strange lights would flicker in the dash. The battery seems really drained, the windows go up and down realllllly slow and the remote entry remote does not work. My front bumper looks fine. I lifted the hood to see if there was any damage to the engine bay and all looks fine but my battery indicator reads 'distilled water'. What does that mean? Is it possible that the shockwave of the collision threw something off in the battery? Has anyone had similar symptoms after a moderate front end collision?
My local Acura dealership has a body shop so it's sitting there waiting to get repaired. But I was wondering if anyone can give me some insight on why the car battery just died on me. Thanks!

I had the same thing happen to me when I threw a piston on my old Q45. I wanted to put on hazards because I was in a dangerous spot at night and my windows were open. Nothing happened. The tow truck jumped the car and the electronics worked fine.
My guess is that batteries have cutoffs to prevent fires or something.
