Proper maintenance and periodic watering are important factors in maximising the performance and life of Trojan deep-cycle, flooded batteries. While battery maintenance can be a costly, time-consuming and messy job, Trojan's HydroLink is a single-point watering system designed to make battery watering easy and save time and money.

HydroLink can fill a complete set of batteries in less than 30 seconds. It features built-in water level indicators and automatic valve shut-off which makes watering batteries much easier and cleaner than the traditional method. HydroLink's built-in individual water level indicator provides accurate reading of electrolyte level without looking inside the vent wells. HydroLink's valve shut-off feature is designed to accurately control the electrolyte level within each cell, automatically shutting off the flow of water to eliminate the potential of overflow or acid splash caused by overfilling.

HydroLink also is equipped with dual flame arrestors which are important safety features not standard on many other watering systems. The internal flame arrestors prevent internal sparks from passing through the watering system to neighbouring cells while the external flame arrestor prevents external sparks from entering your Trojan battery.
