To fully charge any storage battery a certain amount of overcharge is necessary. This equalizes the power in the cells of the battery. When a cell reaches 80% capacity, surplus energy is dissipated through heat, which results in the release of hydrogen and oxygen gasses. These gasses escape from the battery and cause a reduction in the electrolyte level. You must then counteract this process by "topping up" these cells with distilled water.

R+ Recombination Caps are able to catalytically recombine the hydrogen and oxygen gasses into pure water which is then returned to the battery cell. This process drastically reduces the amount of "topping up" and virtually eliminates the danger of a hydrogen gas explosion. Corrosion is eliminated because the acid spray and fumes are contained within the cell. In general, and under normal conditions, R+ Recombination Caps decrease the frequency of watering intervals by three times - meaning up to 3 fewer annual watering / maintenance intervals.

In Summary – R+ Recombination Caps:

1. Drastically reduce the amount of time and money you spend on "topping up" your batteries.
2. Virtually eliminate the risk the venting of hydrogen gas can cause.
3. Contain corrosive elements - which increase the life of your battery and decrease cleaning time.
4. Provide the user with all the benefits of a flooded type battery with minimal maintenance similar to sealed batteries.
5. Increases watering interval by three times. This can be as long as 12 months.
