Battery Refill


Battery Refill
Originally uploaded by mikeysklar

The batteries which store the energy for our home were looking a
little dry. I topped them all off with rainwater (15 PPM) in less than
30 minutes. It used to take me a lot longer to fill up the batteries
when I used a funnel. The process has become much less cumbersome
thanks to a small plastic watering can. Everyone bitches about how
difficult it is to maintain a battery bank, but it takes than two
hours a year of work to keep them happy.

Wow that's a pretty impressive battery array! We're building an off grid earthbag home and I'm just finalizing power choices. I better hurry, the domes will be complete soon.
