SP101 Battery Hydrometer, Factory

Worked well for monitoring/bringing back 6v batteries on my lift. Batteries were charging for 3days while I monitored the PH with this tool and was able to see it increasing daily vs assuming if batteries were improving. Let's you know if they'll hold a charge or if you're wasting your time charging. Use only "distilled" water if refurbishing/filling

I use this to check SG off a forklift battery that I'm using in my off-grid solar system. It seems to be working and SG tracks voltage as expected. It's easy to use and does the job. I didn't know how accurate it is as I didn't have anything to compare it to. I have a couple of criticisms, I wish it had numbers marked between fair and good so I don't have to estimate, and I see small cracking around the edges which I know can come from the method used to weld the 2 halves together or if solvent is used to clean it in the manufacturing process, but to be fair, I have also left this under the metal cover of my battery outside, so it has been exposed to the elements and temperature swings below freezing. So far no leaks but even if the long term durability isn't there, it's cheap enough to just buy another one.

Works very well. Excellent build quality. Ease of use and design is good. Able to use as a transfer from one cell to another. I squeeze the top slowly to absorb the material into unit. Extremely sensitive readings with this product which worked great for me. Do not breathe the fumes so this works very well in doing that. Be safe. Wash it up and put unit back into the package it came in. Awesome. Thanks

Works great. Bought this new one since I was needing one. My old one got lost somewhere. Have used it numerous times now and I am not disappointed at all. I recommend this to anyone needing an over handy hydrometer around the shop.

This has helped me check my battery conditions along with my 12v tester on batteries that actually have access to the fluid.

The EZRed hydrometer works as well as a floating bulb hydrometer. Easy to read. No leaks. Works very well and made in the USA--no china manufacture. This hydrometer does require more battery liquid than a small ball hydrometer. Checking the condition of a small battery such as a motorcycle battery could be difficult because of insufficient volume of liquid.

The product seems like it is built well enough take day-to-day use and abuse. If you are just using it to get a ballpark idea of the state of charge for individual battery cells, it works great. For automotive battery troubleshooting, it's probably good enough. If you need to know a battery cell's state of charge to something more precise than ~5%, however, the scale likely won't be incremental enough- there are big jumps, particularly at the high end of the range. The Hydrovolt may be a better choice. The other issue I had was that it has to be held level to be accurate; there is a level marker on the back of the scale, but it is often obscured by the float and its large meniscus in use.

Easy to use tool to check your battery acid. Helped with rejuvenating riding mower battery. Price was good but delivery was delayed. Think it was Amazon side. Brick and mortar places had to order and were more expensive.
