Low profile manifold for single point watering system for lead-acid batteries

摘要

A single point watering assembly for a monobloc battery having a plurality of cell access ports each have a top edge. The assembly includes a manifold and a plurality of valve cartridges. The manifold overlies the access ports and includes extensions each extending into one of the access ports. Each valve cartridge is supported by one of the manifold extensions and is located below the top edge of the respective access port. Consequently, the assembly presents a low profile extending above the battery.

1. A single point watering assembly for a battery having a plurality of cell access ports each having a top edge, the system comprising:
a manifold overlying the plurality of cell access ports, the manifold including a plurality of bosses integral with and each adapted to extend downwardly from the remainder of the manifold through one of the access ports beyond the associated top edge; and a plurality of valve cartridges each supported by one of the manifold bosses, each valve cartridge adapted to be located entirely below the associated top edge when the manifold is mounted on the battery.
