oups.com: k me crookid. I get T-105's for $60, maybe some pay $75. It is worth it to spend more than a third more battery capacity or budget on freaking caps, even if they happen to work perfectly (not according to their own info), to avoid a few breif insepctions, top-ups & maybe avoid carefully adjusting charging rate? I found more interesting information. It seems that when you need the caps the MOST, you're supposed to remove them to save them??!! From website: http://lists.samurai.com/pipermail/t...awlering/2004- June/076584.html "Thanks for the Battery Equalization & Hydrocaps post of Wed, 2 Jun 2004 I was interested so I did some Internet research on hydrocaps. All of the venders for Hydrocaps (Hydro-Caps)that I found recommend that the caps be removed during high levels of charging and battery equalizing. High levels of charging/battery gassing will result in the catylator in the cap being damaged or prematurely worn out. Limited use -- If I was recharging my golf cart battery bank at 100+ amps, I would have to remove the hydrocaps to prevent damaging them. Since, the caps are designed for low charging rates, wouldn't this severely limit their use." I guess if you START THE 100A ALTERNATOR ON THE DIESEL on a dead house battery, you may RUIN them?....WTF??? -- Larry |
