KLC,
Is it possible to get these hydrocaps for Trojan 6 volt batteries?

What is their function?

Regards

I believe that hydrocaps can be fitted to any flooded lead-acid battery, but
I'm not an expert on the subject. Their function is to recombine vapor into
liquid so that it doesn't outgass from the battery. Rolls-Surrette either
makes or carries them, they may be available from other sources.

Thanks very much. I'll do a web search and see if I can obtain them
here. I've never seen them. I have to replace my 4 Trojan 6 volts
after 7 years. My Areogen wind generator shed its blades and
consequently, after 10 months on the hard, the fluid level was way
down due proably to the heat here in Trinidad. I had to top each cell
with nearly a litre of water. They were due for replacement anyway.

Thanks for the response

Cheers
