Bob, That's true the "watermiser" caps don't recombine the escaping hydrogen. They do however return almost 90% if the water and drops of acid back to the battery. And the caps don't need to be removed during equalization. These are the primary features we are looking for. The battery box still needs to be vented no matter which caps are on the battery.

Hydrocaps remove most of the free hydrogen from the air that is caused by gassing. The Watermisers do not, however they do the same good job of keeping the tops of the batteries clean ad the HCs.
