[RE-wrenches] Battery watering

[Dana]

Hey Joel,

We have a couple of auto water systems in use that we
connect manually and it takes less than 5 minutes to water a
triple HUP 1690 amp hour-24vdc bank. Pretty sweet but doing
the SG is a bit of a hassle as you have to unscrew each cap.
I hear that there are auto water caps that have a port for
the extraction of electrolyte for testing, but I have not
used or seen this cap.

Dana,

 

One of my battery suppliers gave me the same or similar
float. He said something like, "Here's a sample from one of
the watering systems that we sell. It's pretty good, but
sometimes the float sticks open and sometimes it sticks
closed so I wouldn't turn on the water supply unless I was
there to monitor it." He said that his forklift customers
schedule 30 minutes for watering - turns the water on before
going to lunch and checks to see if the cells are full when
he comes back from lunch.

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!
