Battery Filler

[ericr]

does anyone know if the modern style of battery filler, the type with the snout that shuts off automatically, works on Model "A" Fords (clearance on floorboards etc.).

No. I use a Turkey baster, it works good. And I get my distilled water free form my air conditioner.

A/C drain water has debris in it which comes from the evaporator housing and a/c enclosure

Distilled water is usually CHEEP, in the stores.

i was gonna say distilled water is like a dollar a gallon... gallon will last years if your just topping off a battery

Ever tried mineral oil to top off your battery?

 

[Ed Saniewski]

OK Willie, I'll bite. What dose the mineral oil do, stop evaporation?

Some of the diesel power plants that I worked in years ago used banks of large single cell ni-cad batteries for starting batteries . They used a type of mineral oil that they called celloil that floated on the electrolyte to slow down evaporation. We measured the depth of the celloil w/a pipette, IIRC they called for 5 or 6 mm (~3/16" - 1/4") of oil per cell.

Are you SERIOUS, Willie?
Also, your sign off line should read: "ANY BUSINESS THAT MAKES ONLY MONEY, IS A GREAT BUSINESS"!!!
If anyone is "strapped" with too MUCH MONEY, just P.M. for my mailing ADDRESS. (I'M SERIOUS!)
