To make your new or
existing forklift battery virtually maintenance free, we recommend installing an automatic battery watering
system and water level indicator light. This can be accomplished for less
than $20 per cell, plus (1) $55 indicator module (installed). The benefits
are:
·
Weekly
watering takes just one to two minutes.
·
No
user contact with the battery or vent caps.
·
No safety
equipment required (such as eye wash systems and protective gear).
·
Narrow
isle trucks do not require removal of the battery for watering.
·
Accidental
overfilling, acid overflow and corrosion are eliminated.
·
Achieve
the maximum number of cycles and productivity, usually 7yrs or more.
·
Optional
water level indicator light further reduces maintenance and allows
operators and management to easily monitor battery water levels at a
glance.

LED will not come on in this zone – LED comes on when connection is
corrected – Fuse and LED are not damaged.
• Permanent failure at or above 18
volts – Fuse blows and unit must be replaced
• Reverse polarity protected – Will not
blow fuse if connected in reverse – LED will not come on when connected
