Complete 48V battery watering system with custom-molded snake tubing, hand pump, and Eagle Eye sensor for Club Car with Trojan 8V batteries.
The Flow-Rite BG-C48V-11-EA-WS is a comprehensive battery watering system specifically designed for Club Car Precedent and DS (2007 and older) golf carts equipped with Trojan 8-volt batteries. This all-in-one kit combines custom-molded snake tubing engineered for 2.3-inch cell spacing, a 24-inch hand pump for portable water delivery, and an Eagle Eye level sensor that eliminates guesswork from battery maintenance. The pre-formed snake tubing matches Trojan battery layouts perfectly, reducing installation time by 50% compared to universal kits.
The shrouded winged bayonet valves install with a simple push and quarter-turnâno tools required. Once installed, simply connect the included hand pump to fill all six batteries in under five minutes. The Eagle Eye sensor's green LED confirms optimal water levels at a glance, while the automatic shut-off valves ensure perfect fill levels every time. This eliminates the dangerous and time-consuming task of removing battery caps and manually checking water levels with acid-contaminated equipment.
Pre-molded tubing designed for 2.3" Trojan cell spacing ensures perfect fit on Club Car layouts
Green LED indicates full levelsâno light means time to water, eliminating manual checking
24-inch pump allows portable filling from water jug without hose connections or fixed supply
Custom snake tubing reduces installation time and costs compared to universal routing systems
This BG-C48V-11-EA-WS kit is designed for 2.3-inch cell spacing ONLY. The custom-molded snake tubing is pre-formed for Trojan 8-volt batteries with 2.3" spacing between cell posts. Using this kit with batteries that have different cell spacing (such as 2.5" or 2.7") will result in poor fit, connection stress, and potential system failure. Measure Your Battery Spacing: Use a ruler to measure the distance between the centers of adjacent cell posts. If your measurement is approximately 2.3 inches, this kit is compatible. If not, you need a different Flow-Rite kit. Compatible Battery Examples: ⢠Trojan T-875 (8V) ⢠Trojan T-890 (8V) ⢠Trojan T-105 (6V - if using 8-battery configuration) ⢠Other 8V batteries with 2.3" cell spacing NOT Compatible With: ⢠Crown batteries (typically 2.5" spacing) ⢠US Battery with 2.5" or 2.7" spacing ⢠Interstate, Duracell, or other brands with different spacing If you have Crown or US Battery with 2.5" spacing, order model BG-C48V-21-EA-WS instead.
BG-C48V-11-EA-WS Kit Includes: ⢠20 Pro-Fill Automatic Shut-Off Valves ⢠5 Black Manifold Assemblies (One Per Battery) ⢠1 Custom-Molded Snake Tubing (2.3" Spacing) ⢠1 Hand Pump (24" with Flow Indicator) ⢠1 Eagle Eye In-Valve Level Sensor ⢠Complete Installation Instructions ⢠Warranty Documentation Everything Needed for Complete Installation: This kit includes the watering system, water delivery pump, and level monitoring sensorâno additional purchases required except distilled water.
Common Trojan 8V Models: T-875: Popular 8V deep-cycle battery for golf carts and utility vehicles (2.3" spacing) T-890: Higher capacity 8V battery for extended range applications (2.3" spacing) T-105: 6V battery can also work in 8-battery configuration with 2.3" spacing Why Trojan Batteries: Trojan is a leading manufacturer of deep-cycle batteries with consistent cell spacing across their 8V lineup, making them ideal for snake kit installations.
Patented Capacitive Sensing: The Eagle Eye sensor uses the same capacitive technology found in smartphone touchscreens to measure electrolyte levels without running electrical current through the battery. This eliminates corrosion between plates and probe that occurs with older resistive sensors. Simple Visual Indication: ⢠Green LED Glowing: Battery water levels are optimalâno action needed ⢠LED Off: Battery needs waterâtime to fill with hand pump Installation: The Eagle Eye sensor replaces one standard Pro-Fill valve in your system. The integrated probe monitors that cell's electrolyte level, and since all cells are interconnected via manifolds, one sensor accurately represents the entire battery bank. The bright green LED (6x brighter than competitors) is visible from across the cart bay for quick inspection. Power Connection: Connect power wire (3/8" ring terminal) to battery positive terminal. Sensor automatically powers on when connected to 12-48 VDC. Reverse polarity protectedâwon't damage if wires are accidentally reversed.
Installation Steps: 1. Remove Vent Caps: Take off all battery vent caps, store safely 2. Install Valves: Push shrouded winged valves into cells, quarter-turn until wings click 3. Position Snake Tubing: Lay pre-molded tubing over battery topsâcurves match Trojan layout 4. Connect Manifolds: Attach black manifold assemblies to valves on each battery 5. Install Eagle Eye: Replace one valve with Eagle Eye sensor, connect power wire to positive terminal 6. Mount LED Module: Position LED where visible using handle/strap 7. Test System: Connect hand pump, fill batteries, verify shut-off Typical installation: 30-45 minutes
How to Fill Batteries: 1. Prepare Water: Pour distilled water into clean jug 2. Insert Pump: Place intake tube into water jug 3. Prime Bulb: Squeeze bulb until filled with water 4. Connect: Remove dust cover, snap pump quick-connect to system 5. Pump Water: Squeeze bulb to pump waterâflow indicator spins 6. Wait for Shut-Off: When flow indicator stops, batteries are full 7. Disconnect: Press release button, remove pump, replace dust cover Typical fill time: Under 5 minutes
The primary difference between these kits is the cell spacing. Always measure your battery cell spacing before ordering to ensure proper fit.
NEVER use tap water in your batteries! Minerals in tap water coat battery plates, fill microscopic pores, and drastically reduce contact area between plates and electrolyte. This causes permanent capacity loss and can shorten battery life by 40-50%. Approved Water Sources: ⢠Distilled Water (grocery stores, auto parts stores) ⢠Deionized Water (produced with deionizer cartridges) ⢠RO Water (only if TDS meter shows under 10 ppm) DO NOT Use: Tap water, well water, bottled drinking water, softened water New Battery Break-In: For brand new batteries, complete at least 4 full charge/discharge cycles before adding any water. Initial electrolyte levels must stabilize during break-in period.
