have removable cell caps. Water electrolyzed by
discharging and charging the battery is replaced
through these openings.
Gel cell and sealed "maintenance-free" batteries are
generally distinguished by non-removable cell caps.
The physical appearance of battery case is
frequently the same as that of a conventional liquid
electrolyte battery though the cell caps are generally
not removable.
Refer to the battery manufacturer’s information
panel on the battery case to determine the type
battery you have. If the information panel is missing
or not legible, do not use the battery. Refer to your
dealer if you do not understand what type of battery
you are using and have them set the BATTERY
TYPE switch accordingly.
The BATTERY TYPE switch is a two-position slide
switch visible at the opening in the front panel of the
electronic timer assembly. Slide the switch from
one setting to the other through the opening. Take
care not to damage the switch when moving it to the
desired setting.
