[RE-wrenches] Battery watering equipment

[Dana]

Right, we operate (2) auto water systems manually. I have been told, IF, the valve sticks open it can flush all the electrolyte out and the result is A – a mess to be reckoned with and B – a cell full of water or severely diluted electrolyte.

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.

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?
