That one (FlowRite RV2000) popped up on Amazon. It’s the RV version, but I guess their batteries must have a slightly different cap spacing?That looks like the Flo Rite system if my guess is right. Why did you choose that over others and for those who have other brands, I’m curious what type and why.
I’ve thought about adding one but can’t decide which.
Especially with two of the openings under the lip!And I thought I was hi-tech with my auto-shutoff fill jug
I could see where this would be real handy with twice as many 6V batteries.
6V have half the number of cells as your 12v batteries.And I thought I was hi-tech with my auto-shutoff fill jug

But the caps are more spread out, and in this case, two of them end up pretty much inaccessible.6V have half the number of cells as your 12v batteries.
It was easy to install. Just had to be sure the connectors snapped into the caps. I didn’t squeeze the bulb real hard when filling the first time, but it went from real soft to pretty firm, so I’m guessing I got them all topped up.I'm looking at this same issue so this is really helpful.
Looks like you have each of the batteries in protective boxes per regulations, but where does the battery compartment vent to per regulations? It looks like the blue straps prevent the one inch movement in all direction regulations.It was easy to install. Just had to be sure the connectors snapped into the caps.

The battery compartment is not air tight. There is free air exchange at the bottom of that area.Looks like you have each of the batteries in protective boxes per regulations, but where does the battery compartment vent to per regulations?

They are supposed to vent thru the caps. When filling, there’s a float that seals off the water coming in when the cell is full. But now that you mention it I’m not exactly sure how it does all that.How does that system prevent over filling of the cells, or does the battery acid move into the tubes slightly when the battery is being charged?
I “invested” in the water miser caps. They are about $50 for 12 caps. Seem to work ok though.
