Trojan doesn't sell anything directly from their site. And even if they did, All they have under "Products" is their selection of batteries and that HydroLink™ thing.

Dang Ezgokid, you scared me. When I washout thread I was like NOOOOOOOOOO he is gonna by a water fill system and blow his cart up. Now that I read that's a badass little tool. If you find one, let a brother know

I've been all over the net and haven't found it either, but it's kind of redundant in that each cell has a level indicator already in it! Each battery model is a little different also, so that one gauge is only for one model of battery. This is a guess on my part mind you! Trojan's site shows you how to use the level indicator in your battery.

P.S. If you used this gauge, you also would have something laying around that has acid on it, if it wasn't rinsed off well after use! :)

I have the BFS from EZGO, I hate it, but can't find anyone with standard caps they are willing to part with. If any one knows of some T-105 caps laying around, let me know....I will buy them.

That is a handy little device!

That would be REALLY helpful for me since I will have to pull my two bagwell batteries out every time to check the water level since I have a back seat. I'm going to pick up one of those round mirrors on a stick and see if that will allow me to see the level or not, but I don't think it will show me well enough to see how much water is needed.

My local EZ-GO and Trojan dealer/Custom shop is trying to find them now and will be calling me back.

I have/had the BFS system also. I clipped the interconnecting tubes between batteries to prevent chain fires, but left the tubes connecting the three caps per battery connected so they are less likely to run away and hide from me while watering.

I shine a LED penlite at a slight angle and use my (properly protected) calibrated eyeball to see if electrolyte is just below the bottom of fill well.

Yes scoot. Do what John said. Clip all the tubes and if you want leave the ones connecting each cell intact so when you take them off it will be linked together and won't get lost. I check and see if my buddy who owns a local shop has any laying around, if so I will ship them to you!

A mirror works great, but I would get a simple one ( like from a compact ) because the ones on a rod can short out on the battery posts! Guess how I know this! If you really must have a gauge, take a plastic coat hanger and cut off one end at the bottom and cut the vertical piece at the other end leaving 1½" or so to dip into the battery fill hole. If you rough up the small end with sandpaper, you will be able to see the liquid level easier.

Good suggestions, thank you Simple Man.
