BATTERY!
The maintenance free battery is standard. There are no vent plugs in the cover.
The
battery is completely
sealed
except for two small vent holes
in
the side. These vent holes allow the small amount
of
gas that is
produced in the battery to escape.
The
battery has three functions as a major source
of
energy:
• Engine cranking
• Voltage stabilizer
• Alternate source
of
energy with generator overload.
