<p dir="ltr">I would think the 1 gal sprayer would be perfect for customers with smaller banks. When you start going through two, three or four gallons of distilled water at a time, i could see it getting tedious. Ive used an elevated 5Gal polyethylene tank with a 1/4" food grade hose connected to a small polyethylene wand (and small hand operated ball valve) it makes watering so quick and easy, and no messes. You do need a good headlamp while doing this to verify water level. :)</p>

We've been using the garden sprayer method for the last 14 years and
it works great!<br>
Be sure to buy a sprayer with a plastic wand......the brass wands
can create a bit too much excitement.....<br>

<div dir="ltr">Hi Jerry; That's a great idea, I'm going to get one

give a false sense of security. Nobody is in there regularly
checking for loose connections and corrosion. My most important
battery bank tool is a thermal imaging camera that connects to
my smartphone.

<p dir="ltr">Wrenches, <br>
There has been allot of talk about batteries, i use
allot of FLA and Edison type batteries. When we do an
install i aways include a one gallon pump weed sprayer
with distilled water, we cut the sprayer tip off and it
is an easy and fast way to fill batteries, this is a
cheap way too. Battery automatic fills are fine but
there is no subsutute for eyes and hands on inspections.
Just wanted yo pass along a easy battery filling
solution.<span><font color="#888888"><br>
