Photron was: Why I abuse batteries was: trojan battery cycle [RE-wrenches]

[Allan Sindelar]

Jay,
I guess this will date me too, friend...

The Photron Levelert was not a SG probe. It was, according to the
Batterylite spec sheet (only Photron could pack 6 pages of info onto a
single sheet), a "battery fluid level sensor accessory". Its function was
"To inform a control or moitoring device of lead acid battery cell
electrolyte level (presence) so device can react to insufficient electrolyte
level as required by specific device control/monitor application in use."
Whew!

I wish Larry Jennings hadn't crashed, burned, and disappeared. Our industry
could use his genius today. He was way ahead of his time, and had no use for
NRTL listings...

HI Travis,

Years ago ( this will date some folks) there was a company that had a
unit that replaced a cap in one cell on one battery ( made by
Photron) that sent its into to a unit called a Battery lite.

This device measured SG, and so yep its already been done, but sure
would be helpful now.

Problem is you need an integrated system, which for battery based
isn't done yet.

Think of all the grid tied systems that need some cycling.  This
needs to be automatically taken care of and will be an important
selling feature in future
