<div dir="ltr">Wrenches... <div><br></div><div>Recombination Caps typically use a palladium plate or balls to help the recombination process... The Hydrogen and Oxygen in gas for pass by the palladium. The Hydrogen and Oxygen attaches to the palladium and it rejoins the gasses into a liquid form. </div><div><br></div><div>The problem with this process is it can build up quite a bit of heat. The nice thing about the water-miser caps is it's made up of many palladium marbles, instead of a disk. There are some recombination caps that when you are charging at higher voltage, or EQ'ing they will heat up tremendously and will melt to the tops of the batteries. This forces you to remove the caps during heavy charging, or equalizing as melting caps are not a good thing, and whats the point of having these if you can't have them on the battery? </div><div><br></div><div>This is why we switched to the water-misers, they don't get as hot and are made of materials that can absorb a bit more heat and you don't have to remove them when charging. </div><div><br></div><div>If you need help finding these, let me know off list and I'll work with a distributor near you to get them. </div><div><br></div><div> </div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br clear="all"><div><div class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><table border="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%">
