Type Used: L-16 / T-105
The
Type 2B178MR probe has a green LED to effectively
monitor the acid level in flooded golf cart
and L-16 Deep Cycle batteries.
The
length of the probe shaft is 1-7/8" which
will set a monitor level of ½" above
the plates in the cell.
Since
the T-105 and the L-16 are 6

volt, three-cell batteries,the probe is installed
by replacing the vented bayonet cell cap over
the center cell and connecting the black wire
to the bolt on the battery negative post. The
wire has a 5/16" diameter ring terminal
to do this. A similar red wire connects to the
battery positive post. If the LED is out, then
the acid level is too low and the battery should
be charged first, then distilled water acid
added. On construction equipment which uses
L-16 batteries this probe is very useful, particularly
since most construction equipment is from rental
agencies and battery inspections are costly
but necessary to maintain operation.
