Battery Fill Systems - Trojan Hydrolink versus ...
I really do try to search before I ask stuff , but I do not find a thread talking about folks expediences with watering systems.
I want a watering system as I now have 8-6v T105s in my Club Car and and it is impractical to water the two new ones in front of the motor. Local Trojan battery dealer wants $250 for Hydrolink, ouch. Wondering if folks have bought other systems. I would even be interested in a kit where I only did the back two batteries if the cost made sense. |

Re: Battery Fill Systems - Trojan Hydrolink versus ...
For a golf course or business with 50+ carts they are great. I laughed when Trojan came out with that last year and asked if I wanted to carry it.
I think for $250.00, I could pop off the caps and add water myself - They are a bit overkill for the individual consumer/.. IMO - of course |

Popping off the caps yourself allows you to view each cell individually which can be a benefit for discovering a possible battery problem down the road. It also makes sure you are looking at each battery every so often. Just purchase a battery water fill bottle for a few bucks |

I agree with the replies...... on every cart I have owned so far, but....
In this case the cart body is in the way. I can clean the back two batteries, but I cannot fill them without inventing something or modifying the body, so I am looking for a reliable and trustworthy filling system options. |

Yes, he did mention it was an access problem in the first post?

Mine too...
Can you at least see the cells, even with the use of a mirror? If yes then you can use a hand pump to fill those cells. Is this a custom setup configuration you have that doesn't allow you to see the batteries? Can it be modified with a flip up cover over those batteries? |

Cut the cross brace and move it back.
Cut the fiberglass out and make a solid color Plexiglas access panel to cover it. |
