Automatic battery watering system

摘要

The battery watering system uses a number of cells (14) and modules. Watering ramps (11) communicate water from a reservoir (18) to a series of interconnected watering caps (16) so that water within the watering caps (16) and interconnecting conduits (26) drains through the pump (30) and into the reservoir (18) by syphon when no voltage is applied to the pump (30). A controller automatically operates the watering system by sensing the amp hours used since the last watering and determines whether or not the battery needs water. Successful battery watering or system failure are signalled to the operator.
