Single-Point Battery Watering Systems

submarine_dbk - 3-27-2008 at 02:47 PM

Anyone have experience using a single point system for watering their lead-acid solar system batteries? I've seen info on systems from Aquamatic, Philadelphia Scientific and AquaPro.

Would appreciate any feedback on ease of use, effectiveness, experience with particular brands.

Thanks!

hey "submarine man" ...if you find something that works remember to "pass it on"!!!!!!

Will do Bob. I'm tired of watering and would like something a bit more foolproof for caretakers when we are away. Given your massive battery bank, you'd save tons of time!

Try BFS as in batteryfillingsystems.com, Who would have thought with a name like that ?In any case it is a well built system (German I think) you will need their small tube hydrometer as the cap holes are quite small. Open one valve and your done.

Here's a link -- http://www.thesolar.biz/Battery_Filling_Systems.htm -- Haven't read it all but so far looks pretty good.
Later --- EXPENSIVE!!!!
