I always thought it would be great to modify a cell cap to permanently
mount the probe for one of these digital hydrometers into one cell on the
house batteries. No guesstimating here....you can READ the GRAVITY, the
only way to tell the condition of charge in a wetcell battery.

Price has come down a lot....$50!

Even if you couldn't mount it, its use would be much easier than a glass
hydrometer with the batteries buried like they are in most yachts. Lots of
boats, you can't even get the glass hydrometer into the cells, much less
actually read it.

While in Mexico, I didn't have to press 1 for Spanish.
While in Iran, I didn't have to press 1 for Farsi, either.
While in Florida, I had to press 2 for English.
It just isn't fair.
