Trojan Batteries And Chargers

[orbitalsolutions]

Ok, Steve, why not? They look great!

I will need hoses for 4 T-145's. I was going to e-mail you about
this but thought that others may be interested in hearing more about
them as well. So, let me know how much they are, and anything else
I will need to know to install them. Do I just leave the 4 hoses
connectede to the batterys all the time? Can I stow the filler and
only break it out to connect to one battery at a time and fill
them? Is that how it works?

I don't have much over head clearence, will there be enough to
gravity feed the batterys? Seems like there should be, but since
you hae the same bus I do I know you will know the answer.

My stinging hands will be eternally thankful, thanks Steve.
