Has anyone every seen or used this Pro-Fill system for keeping your golf cart batteries properly topped up? http://www.campingworld.com/shopping/item/pro-fill-rv-edition-dual-6-volt-battery-watering-system/27035 I am going to be putting mine in shortly and will not have a sliding tray for a while. I'm going to use an end-to-end 6V battery box and it will be something of a bear to have to physically haul them completely in and out to check the water level in the cells. It looks very handy, but...
Anybody used one? Opinions? For 50 bucks may be worth a try anyway.
And Yes, I know there is a better way....& I plan to pick up a sliding tray at some time when I am in the U.S. Shipping on something that large will likley be a bit dear to Canada and I haven't found one up here yet..

Miny has that setup. Came with it, I haven't decided whether I like it or not. It seems to keep the batteries full though, when I put distilled water to it.

I use one similar to that and see no down side to them. Anything that makes your servicing your batteries easier is a real win. You will still have to keep an eye on the terminals of course, and a slide out tray will make checking them much simpler.
I use a system on my SOB that also vents through the caps to the outside with tube. Lets you mount wet cells just about anywhere you like.

Thanks. It looked like it should be a real help, and there are some excellent user reviews on Amazon (I can get the entire system with pump for a little over $100 CDN). So while I wait for the battery box, I will order this in.
Checked the charge & water on them (new off the shelf) both are sitting at 6.21 V and the cells are where they should be (I would HoPE so for a new battery with a 7/17 mfr date)

Deb,
A client had one in the power he bought. He though it worked well, I never paid much attention. He was only after free work on the power boat.
