Flow-Rite 48V / 8V x6 Configuration Includes Hand Pump
Pro-Fill Universal Battery Watering System -- (6) 8V Trojan Batteries, 2.3" Cell Spacing

Stop guessing at electrolyte levels. The Flow-Rite BG-U48V-5G-WS Pro-Fill kit gives you a single-point fill connection for all six cells in your 48V golf cart battery bank -- filling every battery to the exact correct level automatically, every time.

Smarter Battery Maintenance for Golf Carts and Deep-Cycle Applications

The Flow-Rite Pro-Fill system is purpose-built for deep-cycle golf cart batteries. Unlike generic battery fillers, the Pro-Fill is engineered specifically for the cell spacing, vent cap thread pitch, and float valve geometry of Trojan 8V batteries -- so you get a true drop-in replacement for the existing vent caps, not an adapter-heavy workaround.

Each kit ships pre-plumbed with color-coded interconnecting tubing and automatic shutoff valves. Connect the RV-2020 hand pump to the single fill port, squeeze, and the system fills every cell to the correct level simultaneously. When each cell reaches its maximum safe electrolyte level, the float-activated shutoff valve closes automatically -- no overflow, no acid spills, no guesswork.

Automatic Shutoff

Float-actuated valves stop flow at the correct electrolyte level. Prevents overfilling and acid overflow in every cell.

Single-Point Fill

One connection fills all six batteries simultaneously. Cuts a multi-step chore to under 60 seconds per session.

RV-2020 Hand Pump Included

Compact squeeze-bulb hand pump included. No external water source or pressurized line required at the cart.

Tool-Free Vent Cap Swap

Pro-Fill valves thread directly into existing vent cap openings. No drilling, no cutting, no special tools needed.

Why Proper Watering Matters for Deep-Cycle Batteries

Trojan and other deep-cycle 8V batteries lose water through normal charge and discharge cycling. Low electrolyte exposes lead plates, causing irreversible sulfation and dramatically shortened battery life. Overfilling pushes acid out during charging, corroding terminals and trays. The Pro-Fill system eliminates both failure modes by delivering exactly the right fill level on every maintenance cycle.

Compatible Battery Configuration

This kit is configured for a 48V system using six (6) 8V batteries with 2.3" center-to-center cell spacing -- the standard layout found in most Trojan T-875, T-890, and similar 8V deep-cycle golf cart batteries. Each 8V Trojan battery has six cells; this system covers all cells across all six batteries in the pack.

If your cart runs a different voltage (36V, 72V) or uses 6V or 12V batteries, verify cell count and spacing before ordering -- Flow-Rite offers additional Pro-Fill configurations for those setups.

Verify Cell Spacing Before Installing

The tubing bridge pieces in this kit are sized for 2.3" cell spacing. Batteries with different spacing (such as the 2.1" spacing found on some older or non-Trojan 8V batteries) require a different kit variant. Measure center-to-center distance between adjacent cell vent openings before installing.

Maintenance Best Practices

  • Always water batteries after a full charge cycle, not before -- charging expands the electrolyte and correct fill level is only accurate post-charge.
  • Inspect tubing connections every 3-6 months for any cracking, especially in high-heat or outdoor storage environments.
  • Flush the hand pump with clean water after each use to prevent mineral buildup in the pump valve.
  • Check float valves annually; replace any valve that does not seat completely or allows trickle flow after the cell is full.

Important Information

  • Distilled water only. Tap water introduces minerals that degrade electrolyte chemistry and shorten battery life. Use only distilled or deionized water with this system.
  • Cell spacing must be 2.3". This kit is not compatible with batteries that have different cell spacing. Incorrect tubing length will prevent proper valve seating and may allow overfill.
  • Fill after charging, not before. Filling a discharged battery to the Pro-Fill shutoff level will result in electrolyte overflow once the battery is charged and the electrolyte expands.
  • Not for sealed (AGM or gel) batteries. Pro-Fill systems are designed exclusively for flooded lead-acid deep-cycle batteries with removable vent caps.
  • Wear appropriate PPE. Battery acid is corrosive. Use eye protection and acid-resistant gloves when working around open battery cells.
  • Verify fitment before installation. Confirm your batteries are Trojan 8V with 2.3" cell spacing. Do not modify or stretch tubing to bridge incorrect spacing.
