Smart Blinky Battery Watering Monitor

SmartBlinky™ Battery Watering Monitor – Reliable, Cost-Effective Electrolyte Monitoring

Let your battery tell you when it needs water. The SmartBlinky™ Battery Watering Monitor is a compact, high-visibility electrolyte level indicator designed for industrial lead-acid batteries. With its ultra-bright LED and patented Smart Sensing Technology, SmartBlinky™ helps you maintain your batteries more efficiently, reduce labor costs, and extend battery life.

Ideal for batteries where the top is visible, this monitor is the value-packed solution in the Blinky family—offering reliable performance, easy installation, and long-term durability.

Key Features & Benefits

• Bright LED Alerts:
  • Green Flash – Electrolyte level is OK
  • Red Flash – Battery needs watering after next full charge
• Integrated LED Design: LED is built directly into the probe body for a compact, low-profile fit.
• Smart Sensing Technology: Prevents false alerts by requiring the probe to be out of electrolyte for 24 hours before switching to red.
• Installation Forgiveness: Tolerates minor installation errors without damaging the unit.
• Battery-Friendly Probe: Made of lead to prevent contamination or damage to the battery.
• Low Profile Housing: Resists damage from battery cables and harsh environments.
• UL Classified: Certified for safety and reliability in industrial settings.
• Cost-Effective: Enables “as-needed” watering, reducing labor and extending battery life.

How It Works

The SmartBlinky™ Battery Watering Monitor uses a lead-based probe inserted into a battery cell to detect electrolyte levels. The LED indicator, integrated into the probe housing, flashes green when levels are sufficient and red when watering is needed—after a full charge cycle. The patented Smart Sensing Technology ensures that the red alert only activates after the probe has been dry for 24 hours, eliminating false readings and unnecessary watering.

This system is ideal for batteries that are easily visible and accessible, and it works seamlessly with all industrial lead-acid batteries, including 6V and 12V block and golf cart batteries.
