WHAT’S NEW

With the patented " Smart Blinky," your batteries tell you when they need wateringsmart_Blinky_grn, and when to leave them alone.

  • Blinking Green: Water OK
  • Blinking Red: Add Water

The Smart Blinky has revolutionized the checking of electrolyte levels in industrial truck batteries. This patented device blinks green steadily when the electrolyte level is OK, then red when the level is low (below the tip of the probe).

An operator can see that the battery needs water even from the other side of a dark battery room. Better still, he can see when the battery is OK, and doesn’t need water, so he doesn’t waste time checking batteries that don’t need checking. The flashing green Blinky light says “leave me alone”, and prevents over filling of batteries with water which often happens when an operator fills all the batteries at one time- without checking individual batteries for levels.

The Blinky has a patented circuit that prevents false indication due to leakage paths and tracking on a dirty or wet battery. It has a legendary reputation for reliability. Most versions are fused in case of incorrect installation in the field.
 

Features & Benefits

  • Easy to see and to use: A green light means the electrolyte level is OK; a red light means it is time to water the cells. The lamp can even be mounted on its side to improve visibility if necessary.
  • Protects your battery investment: The Blinky helps protect against battery dry-out, a major failure mode for industrial batteries. 
  • Improves operator safety: There is no longer any need for maintenance staff to peer into vent wells to check levels.
  • Blinky-ContentsGives bright, unambiguous signals: the Smart Blinky boasts the largest, brightest light in the industry. And whereas other sensors can flicker between red and green signals, this cannot happen with the Blinky’s advanced "Smart-Sensing” technology
  • Fits almost all batteries: Smart Blinkys are available with many standard probe lengths (see below), and can also be easily trimmed to any custom length
  • Engineered to be tough: the Smart Blinky is built to withstand the harsh environment of industrial battery applications. Its materials are resistant to corrosion, and its low profile protects it against damage from battery cables and other hazards. It is designed to last for the life of the battery
  • Inexpensive and cost effective: Over a battery lifetime, the Smart Blinky saves a surprising amount of time – or labor cost - and delivers a rapid return on investment. The cost of a single Blinky is a very small addition to the purchase price of an industrial battery; but it allows watering on a labor-saving "as-needed" basis instead of a “hit or miss schedule” basis. This is even more important with batteries that require less frequent water additions.
  • Satisfaction guaranteed: the Smart Blinky is covered by a one-year limited warranty.
