Battery watering system

Guys

Any suggestions, thoughts or Idea's, on which battery watering system to get for 4-220A GC batteries?

These batteries will be tucked up inside the TH frame rails,
just ahead of the dual axles, of the new solar install.

Tia,
Don

  • I had a flowrite system (profill). One of the small red barb connectors broke allowing battery acid to spill into the battery compartment and I didn't see it until it started to run down the side of the RV. What a mess. I now have AGM's (2 six volts) and I was able to lay them on their sides for much easier hookup (all connections facing out), the only way to go in my opinion. Money well spent. -Mark.
  • I use the Flowrite system I our boat and our truck camper. As mentioned it is not automatic but it helps put water in the batteries if they are hard to reach. I do think I will change over to AGM batteries I the future though.
  • They sound hard to get to. If so, I agree with Chris.

    Also the Profil (which I have- it works fine) is not automatic so you still have to remember to get the hose out, connect the bulb and stick it in a jug and pump monthly.

    AGMs dont really cost twice as much as they last twice as long.

    Honestly, forget the watering system and go with AGM batteries.
    x2. Spend a bit more, get a lot more.
  • I used the Flowrite Pro-Fill on a previous motorhome. Worked great!
  • We used flow rite on industrial batteries for years and did well.
