Automatic Battery Watering [RE-wrenches]

[Randy Brooks]

<x-flowed>


Paul,

We have used the system from All Battery Sales and Service advertised  
in Home Power.  Contact Lisa  
(industrialservice at allbatterysalesandservice.com) for product info.   
A few minor issues:
- When installing the watering system we cut one tube a bit too short  
and broke the battery cap trying to pull off the end that was already  
installed.  It's best to carefully slice the tube lengthwise at the  
cap fitting if you need to remove the tube.
- We also had a battery cap leak.  The vendor said they had never had  
this happen before and sent a replacement quickly at no cost.  After  
removing the cap the old one seemed to work OK.  Not sure if there  
was a small piece of dirt holding it open, or what.
- The customer had some problems learning to use the disconnect to  
the water reservoir and pulled the fill tube off the quick connect.   
I'd suggest putting small hose clamps on these fittings to prevent  
that from happening.

Otherwise it's a great way to fill a large battery bank quickly and  
accurately.

take care,
