Question by Julian | Product code: 61-1305

4th May 2012

QWill this float sensor survive in Lead Acid Battery Electrolyte? To be able to measure the min max levels of electrolyte in 2v 1200ah Off Grid Power Batteries? (Hawker) Thanks, Julian

AThanks for your enquiry Julian. It would be suitable however we are unsure of how quickly the unit may break down due to damage from acid erosion. You may want to consider product code 61-1362 as it is designed for fuel and oil which are more damaging.
