[RE-wrenches] Battery watering

[Bill Loesch]

Hi Dana,

Unless your tap water is nearly as mineral free as distilled water, you might want to consider filling your batteries with something other than tap water. I have _no_ experience with automatic battery watering systems but I can comment that the battery doesn't like contaminants. If I am seeing the "hose connection" correctly, attached to the garden faucet, then the distilled water may solve a number of heretofore "battery" problems.

Distilled water is available (in the laundry area of your supermarket) for under a dollar a gallon from most all supermarkets. I bought a distiller and produce my distilled water for ~$0.07 per gallon.

  I found Battery Watering Systems ; http://www.batterywatering.com/

  Kits and lots of options on parts for battery service.

  I am getting a new pressure sprayer and ordered a "gun" that stops when the battery fluid is at a preset level $80, includes a flow meter visual, 20PSI pressure reducer, sprayer handle and auto stop tip.

  No more sore back from leaning over the battery bank, Yes!
