Flow-Rite Pro-Fill Series 6V Deep-Cycle -- 2-Battery Kit

BG-U12V-1A Pro-Fill Universal Battery Watering System -- 6V Batteries, 2.7" Cell Spacing

Stop removing caps and guessing water levels. The Flow-Rite Pro-Fill system replaces every vent cap on your two 6V batteries with automatic shut-off valves linked by a single fill tube -- one connection, all cells filled to the correct level, every time. Designed specifically for standard 6V batteries with 2.7-inch center-to-center cell spacing.

Faster, Safer Battery Maintenance for Your RV House Bank

Flooded lead-acid 6V golf cart-style batteries -- like Trojan T-105s and similar deep-cycle cells -- power most RV house banks, but they demand regular watering. Under-watering shortens battery life; over-watering causes acid overflow and corrosion on cables and trays. The Flow-Rite Pro-Fill BG-U12V-1A eliminates both risks with precision automatic shut-off valves that stop flow the instant each cell reaches the correct electrolyte level.

The universal design fits a wide range of standard 6V flooded batteries. The kit is sized for two batteries (four cells total on a pair of 6V units) with 2.7-inch center-to-center cell spacing -- matching the most common 6V deep-cycle battery cell pitch found in RV, solar storage, and marine applications.

Auto Shut-Off Valves

Float-controlled valves stop water flow precisely at the correct electrolyte level -- no overfill, no spills.

Single-Point Fill

Connect your water source once and all cells fill simultaneously. No cap removal, no individual cell access needed.

Universal Fit -- 6V Cells

Designed for standard 6V deep-cycle batteries with 2.7-inch center-to-center cell spacing.

Replaces Existing Vent Caps

Valves thread directly into existing vent cap openings -- no drilling, no battery modification required.

What Is Included in the Kit

The BG-U12V-1A kit contains everything needed to equip two standard 6V batteries:

  • Automatic shut-off watering valves (one per cell -- quantity matches total cell count for two 6V batteries)
  • Pre-cut interconnecting tubing sized for 2.7-inch cell spacing
  • Single fill manifold/coupling for one-point water connection
  • Installation hardware and instruction sheet

Note: A hand pump, battery watering gun, or dedicated water supply hose is NOT included. Flow-Rite offers compatible pumps and guns separately (sold individually).

Why Single-Point Watering Extends Battery Life

Inconsistent manual watering is one of the leading causes of premature deep-cycle battery failure. Cells that run dry even briefly suffer irreversible sulfation. The Pro-Fill system makes correct-level fills so quick and clean that owners actually do it on schedule -- typically every 2 to 4 weeks during active use or after every significant discharge/recharge cycle.

Compatible Battery Types

This kit is engineered for flooded (wet-cell) lead-acid deep-cycle 6V batteries with standard vent cap openings. Common compatible batteries include:

  • Trojan T-105, T-105 RE, T-125, T-145 series
  • Interstate U2200, GC2 series
  • Crown CR-235, CR-260 series
  • Deka 8GC2, 8GGC2 series
  • Most standard golf cart-style 6V batteries with 2.7-inch cell spacing

This kit is NOT compatible with sealed AGM, gel-cell, or lithium batteries. It is designed for flooded batteries only.

Choosing the Right Kit -- 6V vs. 12V Configurations

Flow-Rite offers Pro-Fill kits for different battery bank configurations. The BG-U12V-1A fits two 6V batteries wired in series (the most common RV house bank setup producing 12V total). If your bank has four 6V batteries, you will need additional kits or a larger kit designed for four-battery banks. Cell spacing varies by battery brand -- always confirm your battery's center-to-center cell measurement before ordering.

Watering Tips for Deep-Cycle Battery Banks

  • Always water batteries after a full charge cycle, not before -- charging causes electrolyte expansion that can overflow if cells are pre-filled.
  • Use distilled or deionized water only. Tap water minerals contaminate electrolyte and shorten battery life.
  • Inspect tubing connections for tight fit before first use and after any rough travel.
  • Check electrolyte levels visually on first use to confirm valve shut-off height is correct for your specific battery brand.

Important Information -- Read Before Installing

  • Flooded batteries only. Do NOT install on AGM, gel-cell, or lithium batteries. These chemistries do not use liquid electrolyte and the valves will not function correctly.
  • Confirm cell spacing before ordering. This kit is sized for 2.7-inch center-to-center cell spacing. Installing on batteries with different cell spacing will result in tubing that does not reach or fits too loosely.
  • Water AFTER charging, not before. Charging expands electrolyte. Watering before a charge can cause overflow and electrolyte loss.
  • Use distilled water only. Tap water minerals accelerate plate sulfation and void battery warranties.
  • Battery acid hazard. Wear eye protection and chemical-resistant gloves during installation and whenever connecting the fill line. Battery electrolyte is dilute sulfuric acid.
  • No pump included. A compatible hand pump or battery watering gun must be purchased separately to use this system.
  • Verify fit on first use. After installation, perform a test fill and visually confirm shut-off valves are stopping at the correct electrolyte level for your specific battery model.
