Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Lead-Acid Oil-Filled Batteries and Catalysts



Hi Doug.
 
I have been told that you can rig a collapsable oil filled bladder that is hooked to an oil filled battery pod with a hose and it will replace any oil lost from the pod and the bladder
would just collapse as the oil drained from it into the pod. That way instead of getting a vacuum in your pod, your bladder would just collapse according to the amount of oil
it lost replenishing your battery pod oil. Don't know that personally from experience or anything, but I have been told that.
 
I'm going to use air equalization for my shallow diving wetsub pod and motor. The whole oil thing just seems like too much weight and too messy for my shallow diving applications.
 
Kindest Regards,
Bill Akins.

Oil will expand and contract with a change in temperature.  So if the battery storage was filled at the surface on a warm day with warm oil and then spent an hour or so in cold water, then you'd have a vacuum until you gave it time to warm back up.  Right?
