One other advantage, recombination caps wear out. We have had Water Miser caps returned (during upgrade to AGM’s) that are over 10 years old. By washing in baking soda and water, thoroughly rinsing, they continue working. Should last decades. Larry Crutcher Starlight Solar Power Systems On

Correction... Watermiser caps are plastic balls, not palladium balls... I've never cut one open, maybe something I should do someday. Thanks Larry!

Steve, Water Miser caps use plastic beads to condense moisture. No recombination takes place. No exothermic process thus no heat is generated. Larry On Oct 13, 2016, at 4:43 PM, Steve Higgins wrote: Wrenches... Recombination Caps typically use a palladium plate or

Wrenches... Recombination Caps typically use a palladium plate or balls to help the recombination process... The Hydrogen and Oxygen in gas for pass by the palladium. The Hydrogen and Oxygen attaches to the palladium and it rejoins the gasses into a liquid form. The problem with this process

Kirpal, You state that the Rolls 5000 series come standard with recombiner caps. Just installed a set of 4ks25p yesterday and the caps haven't changed that I noticed. I've been using the Hydro caps for about 15 years now and all my clients including the ones we use here at our office/shop only

Battery Wrenches, The problem with recombination style caps is they require using a low absorb voltage, about 2.35 to 2.4 Vpc. I am a big fan of aggressive charge voltage for many flooded battery types. Doing so produces more evolution of gasses. These and other caps can be overwhelmed by

We supply them to all our clients in the Bahamas and they do help cut down on watering to various degrees. In hot climates with a lot of sun every little bit helps. Call Roy at RAE Storage Battery to see if he can get you some. (860)828-6007 Daryl > Top o' the morning! > Has anyone used the

Top o' the morning! Has anyone used the Rolls Surrette recombiner caps for their series 4000 batteries? They come standard on the series 5000 batteries Any ideas where to source them? None of our battery suppliers we get Rolls batteries from seem to have them. We have used water miser caps in the
