Hydrocaps for IBE cells [RE-wrenches]

[Matt Tritt]

Eric,

After over 20 years messing with batteries and several kinds of
recombining cap types, I can definitely say that hydrocaps go bad/lose
their ability to recombine vapor into water.
Pretty expensive fun you say? You might try Water Miser caps at about
1/2 the cost of Hydrocaps. They might not have the same life (but they
might) but they don't cost an arm and a leg. Plus you can fill the cells
without removing the caps.

That can't be right since by definition a catalyst is not used up during
the chemical reaction it is promoting. Do Hydrocaps really wear out?
That would make them much less useful than I thought.
