[RE-wrenches] cleaning battery caps

[Dana]

I have yet to see any of these water saver caps that last more than a few
years. For the cost regular service seems a lot less expensive.
My last experience was calling the manufacturer and he said that 24 volt
caps were only safe and expected to work to 28 volts and needed to be
removed. He also stated that I was in error charging a 24 volt bank over 28
volts as it was dangerous. I begged to differ but it turned into a verbal
pissing match immediately. I quit using them after eventually removing every
set I have run across as they were damaged. This was a few years back. 

Has anyone had a new or current experience that is positive and really long
lasting?

I don't think these caps ever worked real well. And as batteries get older
they use more water, right?

Yea weird.

I've got a client who wants to clean his water miser battery caps, they are
filled with battery "scum"

He thinks and seems right to me that they are not working as well as they
used to, and I dont know what to tell him

Any ideas?

thanks,

jay
