[RE-wrenches] Rolls Surrette Re-combiner caps.

[Starlight Solar Power Systems]

Battery Wrenches,

The problem with recombination style caps is they require using a low absorb voltage, about 2.35 to 2.4 Vpc. I am a big fan of aggressive charge voltage for many flooded battery types. Doing so produces more evolution of gasses. These and other caps can be overwhelmed by this. In addition, the caps should be removed for equalization charges. 

Water Miser caps are not recombination caps, they use condensing beads to trap moisture and drip back into the cell. We have sold many hundreds of Water Miser caps and some customers report up to 5 months between watering.
