factory installed battery. Battery is sealed, except for
small vent holes in the top. Chemical composition
inside the battery produces an extremely small amount
of gases at normal charging voltages. The factory
installed battery is equipped with a test indicator (Fig.

charge.
• Green Indicator = Full charge
• Black Indicator = Discharged
