Battery, with a Visual Indicator

Lead acid batteries with "visual indicators" are filled with electrolyte fluid (wet battery). They do not have sealing plugs for topping off with distilled water.

• If batteries with a "visual indicator" are equipped with sealing plugs for production reasons, the plugs are covered with plastic sheeting.

• The coverings must not be removed and distilled water must not be added.

• Only perform a visual inspection.

The "visual indicator" - arrow - gives information about the electrolyte level and charge condition of the battery by means of a color display.





CAUTION!
Risk of explosion on discharged battery with "visual indicator".

• If the "visual indicator" has no color or is light yellow, the battery may not be tested or charged. Jump starting must not be used! There is a risk of explosion during testing, charging or jump starting. The battery must be replaced.
