Fairly useless, when you want to use it the battery will be empty empty/cor=
roded or you cannot find the damn thing. Water absorption may not be evenly=
distributed throughout the system.
Another bit of kit to be stored and to get lost. I have shelves full of suc=
h "useful" items but rarely use them.
Just change the brake fluid every two years and you are OK. Brake fluid (DO=
T4) is inexpensive and widely available. Do not buy in bulk, just get 1/2 l=
itre for the change and keep the remainder for topping up. Get rid of the s=
pare fluid after the two years with the next change.

Dunno why there'd be copper in BF, unless you have cupronickel lines.
