Battery With Charge Indicator (Magic Eye), Checking







The charge indicator - arrow - provides information on the electrolyte level and charge level of the battery to be tested.

Three different colored indications are possible:

color indicator Battery status
Green Battery adequately charged.
Black Not charged or inadequately charged.
Colorless or yellow Critical electrolyte level reached; topping up with distilled water essential.

NOTE: If a battery is more than 5 years old and the indicator is colorless, replace battery.

Test sequence

NOTE:
- When recharging the battery, and during driving, air bubbles may form under the "magic eye". They distort the color displayed by the magic eye.
- If batteries are fitted with sealing plugs for production reasons, these are covered with plastic foil.

- Prior to visual inspection, use screwdriver handle to tap gently and carefully on "magic eye" to disperse any bubbles.
- Observe color of charge indicator.
