I finally purchased and installed a battery watering system for my two Trojan T-105 6 volt batteries.
The mod went well and I am really happy that I did it. Once I installed it, it took me less than a minute to water the batteries.
If you have a battery type that requires watering, consider one of these systems. Just the safety factor alone was worth it for me as there is no way I can slide the plastic tray with 124 pounds of batteries out all the way to reach the cells in the back battery.
Now I just connect the squeeze bulb assembly to the capped line coming from the watering manifold, drop the other end into a jug of distilled water and squeeze the bulb to pump the water in - then stop when the bulb gets firm.
I ended up building a temporary support stand for the installation out of a three 2x4s and 2 screws. Worked well.
Pics attached.
