Thumbs up Another water system question

I recently contacted US battery for a water fill system. I asked if I could forgo the battery mainfolds and run tubing between virtually every cell filling valve then of course use the pump to charge the system from a distilled water bottle. They said sure and quoted me a very economical price. It included 24 cell filling valve with a tee. I will simply have to cut the tubing to the 24 cell fill valves. I am concerned that the first valve in the loop may allow more water into the battery than the last valve.

Any body ever do it this way?

The benifit is if I change batteies with different cell spacing I can still use the same fill system just cut new tubing. Secondly this was way less expensive than the systems I have seen that have battery manifolds.

This application was for 6-8 volt batteries. 24 fillers with tees for $92.00. Plus $20.00 for the pump.

What do you all think.
