Flow-Rite Part # BG-U36V-CJ Fits US Battery 12V-VRX Pro-Fill Single-Point Battery Watering System -- 36V Bank Kit

Stop pulling vent caps one by one. The Flow-Rite BG-U36V-CJ Pro-Fill system connects every cell in your US Battery 12V-VRX bank with a single manifold loop, so one connection fills every cell automatically -- then shuts off the moment each cell is full. Purpose-built for the 12V-VRX cell geometry with 132-style flex manifolds.

Fill Your Entire Battery Bank in Seconds, Not Minutes

Traditional battery maintenance means removing every vent cap, checking each cell with a hydrometer, topping off with distilled water, and replacing the caps -- all without spilling acid. On a 36V bank of three 12V batteries, that is nine cells minimum, and it is tedious, slow, and easy to over-fill.

The Flow-Rite Pro-Fill BG-U36V-CJ eliminates all of that. Each automatic shut-off valve replaces the existing vent cap on every cell. The valves are pre-connected by 132-series flex tubing manifolds that route across the top of the battery bank. Connect a water source to the single fill port, squeeze the trigger, and all cells fill simultaneously. When each cell reaches the correct electrolyte level, its valve closes -- automatically. No guesswork, no overflow, no acid spills.

Auto Shut-Off Valves

Float-controlled valves stop flow precisely at the correct electrolyte level every fill -- no over-watering.

132 Flex Manifolds

Flexible tubing manifolds route around battery terminals and interconnect all cells with a clean, low-profile fit.

Single Fill Point

One connection per bank fills every cell at once -- ideal for tight battery compartments in RVs and golf carts.

US Battery 12V-VRX Specific

Engineered to the exact vent cap thread and cell spacing of US Battery 12V-VRX cells -- no adapter required.

What Is in the Kit

  • Automatic shut-off fill valves -- one per cell, replace existing vent caps directly
  • 132-series flexible manifold tubing -- pre-cut and fitted to the 12V-VRX cell layout
  • Cell-to-cell interconnect fittings for routing across the battery top
  • Single external fill port fitting for hose or hand-pump connection
  • Installation hardware and instruction sheet

Why Single-Point Watering Matters for RV and Golf Cart Owners

Deep-cycle flooded lead-acid batteries in RVs, golf carts, floor scrubbers, and solar storage systems require regular watering -- typically every 5-10 charge cycles under normal use. Skipping or inconsistently watering leads to sulfation, premature capacity loss, and shortened battery life. The Pro-Fill system makes the task fast enough that owners actually do it on schedule, protecting a significant battery investment.

Compatible Battery and Application Notes

This kit is designed and dimensioned specifically for the US Battery 12V-VRX cell series. The VRX line uses a standard flooded lead-acid construction with accessible vent caps. The BG-U36V-CJ kit covers a 36V bank configured as three 12V batteries in series, which is the standard for many golf carts, industrial vehicles, and some RV house bank configurations.

If your application uses a different voltage configuration or a different US Battery model, verify the exact kit part number before ordering. Flow-Rite offers separate kits for 6V, 8V, and 12V cells across multiple bank voltages.

Compatible Fill Pump Options

The single fill port on this kit accepts a standard Flow-Rite hand pump or the Flow-Rite EZ-Fill power pump (sold separately). A standard garden hose with a flow-control nozzle also works with the appropriate adapter. The system requires low input pressure -- a hand pump or gravity feed is sufficient. Do not use shop air or high-pressure water supply directly.

Use Distilled Water Only

Always fill flooded lead-acid batteries with distilled or deionized water. Tap water contains minerals that contaminate electrolyte and accelerate plate degradation. The Pro-Fill system does not filter or condition the input water -- water quality is the installer's responsibility.

Maintenance Tips for Long Battery Life

  • Water batteries after a full charge cycle, not before -- charging causes electrolyte expansion.
  • Inspect manifold fittings for cracks or discoloration at each watering service.
  • Flush the fill port with clean distilled water after each use to prevent mineral buildup at the valve seat.
  • Check that all shut-off valves seat fully after each fill -- a valve that drips after disconnecting the hose may need replacement.
  • Keep the manifold tubing away from battery terminal hardware to prevent chafing and shorting risk.

Important Information -- Read Before Installing

  • Battery acid hazard: Always wear acid-resistant gloves and eye protection when working on flooded lead-acid batteries. Electrolyte is corrosive.
  • No-flame zone: Charging batteries produce hydrogen gas. Keep open flames, sparks, and smoking materials away from the battery area during watering and charging.
  • Distilled water only: Using tap water or mineral water will contaminate the electrolyte and void battery warranty.
  • Verify fitment before installing: This kit is engineered specifically for US Battery 12V-VRX cells in a 36V bank. Installing on a different cell model may result in incorrect fill levels or valve leakage.
  • Fill pump sold separately: This kit does not include a hand pump or power fill pump. A compatible Flow-Rite pump or low-pressure water source is required to use the system.
  • Do not exceed recommended input pressure: Excessive water pressure can force valves open past the correct fill level and flood cells -- use hand pump or gravity feed only.
  • Not for sealed batteries: AGM, gel, and sealed VRLA batteries do not require or allow external watering. This product is for flooded lead-acid cells only.
