Water Miser Caps venting water [RE-wrenches]

[Nick Nicholas, APS]

Gary:
    Overfilling seems to be the most common cause for moisture on the top of
batteries, but what you described sounds more like condensation.  C&D
Industrial Batteries all come with Water Misers installed, and we have many
out in the field with no problems noticed.

> Wrenches,

> Is it normal for Water Miser caps (or Hydro Caps) to vent water out of the
> top? I've seen water pooling on top of my client's batteries, and we're
both
> wondering if this is normal (my client thinks not, and believes the caps
may
> have gone bad). You may be wondering what the bulk and float voltages are.
> My client's nominal 24-volt IGB's run around 29.2 and 26.4 volts
> respectively.
>
> I don't have experience with these caps, and only know that my own ancient
> T-105's (no caps) do frequently have water on the top. I wipe 'em off and
> fill 'em up now and then.

> Thanks,
