Re: Battery Watering Gizmo from Trojan
OK...that tool you see in the first post was made about 10 years ago as an advertising tool. They have not been made since.
SO, I think Simple Man's suggestion is the way to go with a plastic coat hanger. :) |

For longer reach, I taped it to a non-conductive rod (IE: DRY wooden dowel) It is a little tricky to do sometimes, but a short penlight (single cell) held close in front of your non-dominate eye and aimed at the mirror, will illuminated what you are looking at in the mirror. |

And no one has any laying around? Dumb idea for Trojan to stop making them. They'd have made a killing. |

Please tell me how exactly, you expect me to measure 1/8" below that piece of plastic. Even if I could just try and "judge" the distance, I am better with metric than American, so it'd be even more difficult. |

Re: Battery Watering Gizmo from Trojan
I know you're gonna think this funny but one of the handiest tools in the shop is one of these silly head lamps the father in law gave me a couple of years ago... It is great for not only seeing the water level but the condition of the separator plate as well

I have a pretty good amount of light, so I can see the water. The problem is judging when to stop squeezing the ketchup bottle I used to fill my cells. |

Re: Battery Watering Gizmo from Trojan
Those lights are great! leaves 2 hands free, which really helps for lots of things. As far as guessing at the 1/8", I'm just used to it. I had to do it on boats for years, and sometimes with a whole lot less room to work in than in a golf cart. The important thing, as " scottyb " mentioned, is having good light!

Re: Battery Watering Gizmo from Trojan
That same Trojan website states that a rubber strip makes a good dipstick. That would be easy for anyone to make, tech savvy or not.
