Not a fan of Trojan HydroLink System !!
As some of you remember I was trying to find a source for stock battery caps for my T-875. Well I finally got a set and this morning I pulled all batteries and replaced the HydroLink system. This is what I found.
12 cells were at proper level 4 cells were filled to the very top 7 cells were low 1 cell was right at top of battery cell (float was stuck) I was expecting to have to add some water, but never expected to have to add almost a gallon. To be fair I figured the floats took up some water displacement. This forum has talked me out of having a manifold running between batteries, but the post about the batteries blowing up (see 1st photo) put me into action. Anyone using a fill system please be very cautious. Thanks all. M |

That first picture scared me, I thought that your batteries blew while you were trying to find regular caps

Re: Not a fan of Trojan HydroLink System !!
Thanks for the input.
These systems were designed to cut the man hours required to maintain fleets (50 plus) of carts on a busy course. The losses due to under/over filling was more than offset by the labor savings over the term of the lease. For the individual owner these systems are too risky in my opinion. |
