[C320-list] Battery Watering Systems

[LOCALJG at aol.com]

I replaced my 2 4D batteries over a year ago with 4 golf carts.  I  also 
have the watering system attached.  I could not be happier with my  decision 
to go with the golf carts.  The watering system makes the  battery 
maintenance procedure very civilized.  Twice a month I simply take  a jug of distilled 
water down into the boat and squeeze on a little ball type  hand pump that 
is connected to a tube that is connected to all 4  of the golf cart 
batteries.  That's it!  No muss, no fuss and bonus  points - I have 500 amp hours of 
power stored in my golf cart batteries.  I  also have a starting battery 
connected to the same watering system and all  five batteries get serviced at 
the same time.  It takes 5 minutes to  service all five batteries.  
 
When (a number of years from now) it is time to replace my golf cart  
batteries, I won't have to break my back lugging 135 pound batteries out of my  
boat as the golf cart batteries are the same size and weigh of a car  
battery. 
 
The 5 batteries(one start and 4 golf cart) all fit in the  same space that 
the start and 2 4D batteries once  occupied.  
 
In the year that I have had my golf cart batteries, there has been not  one 
single ounce of spillage of any battery fluid.  The tops of the  batteries 
are as clean as the day they were installed and I haven't touched  them.  
The system is perfect, simply perfect.  A total no  brainer.

While  battery watering systems abound for gp 24-27 and golf cart batteries,
there  are few for 4D/8D wet cells.  Has anyone had experience with  the
AquaProRBattery Watering System?  Or, any other for that  matter.

The magic is in the  replacement caps.  They are not a simple affair, hence,
the cost of  $78/battery.
