Cost Effective

Over a battery's lifetime, the BasicBlinky saves a surprising amount of time or labour cost and delivers a rapid return on investment. The cost of a single BasicBlinky is a minimal addition to the purchase price of an industrial battery. Still, it allows watering on a labour-saving 'when-needed' basis instead of a 'hit or miss schedule'. This is even more important with batteries that require less frequent water additions.

Simple LED Feedback

The BasicBlinky monitor makes battery watering simple and reliable. It blinks green when electrolyte levels are correct and turns off when water is needed, even visible from across a dark battery room. This saves operators time by showing exactly which batteries require attention, while preventing unnecessary checks and costly overfilling. With BasicBlinky, you’ll always know when to water and when to leave your batteries alone.

Engineered to be Tough

The BasicBlinky features a patented circuit that eliminates false readings caused by leakage paths or moisture on dirty batteries. Renowned for its reliability, it now comes with an even stronger, more durable body, ensuring accurate monitoring in even the most demanding conditions.

Why Basic Blinky

This is the original watering monitor that revolutionised the checking of electrolyte levels in industrial batteries.  The new and improved BasicBlinky is twice as bright as the previous model and features a redesigned body to house the indicator LED.  The new body has a lower profile and is more robust, making it more resistant to damage.

Multiple Connection Types

The BasicBlinky can be installed using a range of different battery connectors.

Patented Design

BasicBlinky is an electronic probe that senses the electrolyte in a cell. The low-cost circuit provides a clear indication when the battery needs water.

User Friendly

Easy to understand, instantly clear and actionable indications.

Immediate ROI

Basic Blinky is a low-cost solution that quickly pays for itself through reduced labour and maintenance costs.

Super Bright LED Indicators

A bright flashing green LED means the electrolyte level is OK, while no light means it is time to water the cells.

Easy to Install

A quick and simple installation procedure with reverse polarity protection.

FAQs

I've installed the BasicBlinky over 12V, what should I do?
The Basic Blinky has a forgiveness zone of up to 14.0v and hibernates if it is installed over the correct operating voltage. Simply re-install it over the correct voltage.
