Battery Level and Filler
[img]

My battery box is very crowded with 4 six volt batteries. I had to remove everything to check the water level. I finally got tired of this and worked up this solution using scrap plastic fitting. The unit sits on the fill hole with a VOM meter attached to the leads. If the cell is not full it reads no continuity. I use a WalMart turkey baster to fill the cell until I get a continuity reading. My battery fill level in 1 inch below the top of the battery case, and that's where the two probes reach. Just thought I'd share if anyone else has this problem.
