What is a Blinky?

“Poor Maintenance of Your Battery Can Be Very Expensive. Overfilling or Not Filling a New Battery Will Void the Warranty and Shorten Battery Life”

Electrolyte levels can rise and fall due to different factors, which can means a battery operator waters batteries that don’t need watering.
Without indication, it can get difficult to know whether batteries need water or not. This means that operators check whether batteries need watering by opening the vent caps, which is both time consuming, inefficient to do regularly, and not very safe for maintenance engineers.
The SmartBlinky provides clear indication with its brigh t green LED when the water level is OK, and additional red LED when the battery needs watering.

• Prevents boil-overs and acid spills.
• Protects against battery dry-out.
• Saves money and labor time.

WITH A LOW-COST INSTALL THE SMARTBLINKY PROVIDES A ROI IN JUST 18 WEEKS THROUGH INCREASED BATTERY LIFE AND REDUCED MAINTENANCE COST

The SmartBlinky improves battery maintenance by intelligently alerting operators when a battery needs water. This means that maintenance tasks can be performed on batteries only when necessary. With the SmartBlinky, time isn’t wasted inspecting and watering batteries that don’t require filling.

Its SmartDELAY feature means that the LED only goes
red when the level is low for 24 hours. This reduces false indication and boil-overs so that there isn’t a false indication, providing 100% confidence that the battery won’t overflow.
