[RE-wrenches] Battery watering equipment

[Joel Davidson]

Forklift battery suppliers and Wrenches told me that automatic watering systems either stick closed (dry cells) or stick opened (flooded battery box). Warehouse operators told me that they operate their so-called automatic watering systems manually.

I use an RL Flo-Master 1.5-Gallon Polyethylene-Tank Sprayer from Home Depot for $11. It works great. 
Model # 1415D. Internet # 100637818. Store SKU # 367767

  I like using a plant sprayer (a new one), with the end of the wand removed, and a piece of tape for a depth gauge.. and a good head light.. db

    Are you talking semi-automatic or manual?

      I am currently looking for recommendations on battery watering equipment. We have a regular route of clients that  want us to perform regular battery checks for SG and VPC and water afterwards, generator oil check and operation, control settings [older Trace and Xantrex equip. w/o non-volatile memories] etc.

      What has worked for you, who supplies it, would you buy it again?
      What would you do differently?
