On-grid. The IBE lead-antimony cells already installed. So far Wrench feedback is automatic watering systems are unreliable. The watering system that IBE sells to its forklift customers requires the user to manually turn it on and off because the feeder cap float valve does not seal tightly and the drips add up resulting in overfilled cells and a mess.
