Know a lot of the Faithful are getting ready for AC, sorry I will miss it. Ya'll hoist a clear for ole UV and Snow.

So for some light reading, thought I'd share my recent research on flooded lead acid batteries. Prompted by the recent acquisition of our used LHB (electric Land Howdy Boat, a/k/a an Ezgo golf cart).

Just put da Judge's pink potion in the six 6 volt battereis that are wired in series to produce 36 volts. Did you know that you only add water to lead acid batteries when they are fully charged? The acid/water level rises as they charge. Over filling with distilled water is worse than underfiling. The pink potion, an anti-sulfation agent, does work. My 8D's in AJ have worked great now for years in a super hot climate with it, use about 20% of the water vs. not using the potion. Avilable in quarts from JC Whitney, I'll post the link below, search for 'battery conditioner', and at 25 bucks a quart a bargain. I use 2 oz. a cell in the big 8D's, and put about an ounce a cell in the golf cart batteries (Judge, had plenty of room, in fact, may need some distilled water on top of it).

Anyway, thought I'd share this, and ya'll stay away from the tables and slots at Trump. It is a tax on stupidity, or for folks that were never good at math.
