Battery caps?
I've searched all over for a set but I can't find them.
A few years ago I saw some individual caps on a friend's truck battery, instead of the ganged set you usually see. They looked pretty cool and they had slightly wider funnel mouths so it was easier to check the water and stuff. I asked him recently where he got them and he didn't even remember having them. (?)
Does anyone know where I can get a set?
If I remember correctly, they also help the battery retain water.

It's been so long sence I have refilled or even seen a servicable battery I don't know who still makes them. I'd suggest checking your local tractor supply and semi-truck shops. Big diesels are the last thing I worked on with them.

WaterMiser caps are, unfortunately, bayonet threaded.
So are Hydrocaps, although they probably would be a real bad choice for a vehicle application.

But you have the right idea. That's what I'm looking for.
