Rather than start a new thread since everyone is here.. Any of you battery boys ever used one of THESE ?
Francis Freas has made the industry standard glass hydrometer for a number of years. You can buy direct from them, singly here, or buy eight of them plus shipping and give them away as Xmas gifts to your RV buddies.
A little spendy for a stocking stuffer, eh?
As Mex mentioned, proper tool use with these rubber ended hydrometers involves the rinse cycle. I rinse mine three times when I'm done and put it away in the enclosed battery box, at hand for another use. I'm not tapping away trying to eliminate air bubbles and the rinse may have something to do with that.
The cut sheet that was posted shows that the hydrometer under consideration isn't your garden variety circular job. That looks like a good tool.
