[RE-wrenches] Electrolyte level measurement

Another option for grid tied with battery based systems, is to use flooded lead calcium batteries which last 20 years and only need about 20 ml/ cell, added every 3 years.

And to add to Steve's good advice, make sure the sprayer has a plastic wand. Some are made with brass
 wands and that can add a degree of excitement that I can live without.

 I also only fill when the batteries are mostly charged. That lessens the chance of the cell being overfilled
 as the state of charge increases. Oh...and a headlamp helps to see the fluid level, just cock you head
 and you'll find just the right angle to see the fluid.
