Automated Watering Systems for Industrial and Commercial Flooded Lead Acid BatteriesMany flooded lead acid batteries die an early death due to poor maintenance, and failure to water the battery cells. Battery Watering systems can be the key to regular battery maintenance in most installations.
Flooded lead acid batteries burn off some of the water in the electrolyte during both charge and discharge. As the water is eliminated from the battery, the electrolyte levels drop, and the battery plates are exposed to oxygen. The problem is the Oxygen in the atmosphere, and the corrosion of the exposed lead plates. This corrosion severely and negatively effects chemical storage capacity in the battery as well as the maximum discharge and charge rates. An automatic watering system, automatically adds water until the reservoir is exhausted to each battery cell. Most watering systems are comprised of a reservoir, watering battery caps/heads, and a distribution system. You buy enough caps for your battery bank, remove the original battery vent caps, and install the new caps. Next hook up the water lines, and install the reservoir. Fill the reservoir, and then add an entry to your day timer to check it once a week The reservoir still needs to be filled routinely, but is built for both fill speed, and installed with easy access in mind. The watering system eliminates the need to remove and check the individual battery cell caps, speeding up the process as well. 
If you refuse to pay double for AGM batteries up front, expect to water your batteries at least every week, or spend up to 3 times as much in the long run. As long as the batteries are properly charged, watered, and temperature controlled, they can sit for quite some time. Premium AGM and Flooded lead acid batteries have a 5-15 year lifespan over which they can use their lifecycles (number of charge/discharge cycles). We find that most folks replace flooded lead acid batteries every year or two, and that AGM battery customers replace their batteries every 5-12 years. We know, based on used battery inspection, that the most common failure for flooded lead acid batteries is failure to maintain the batteries. Either invest in a watering system to give yourself a chance, or just admit you won’t maintain your batteries and invest in AGM technology up front.
