Trooper LS V6-3.5L (1998)
Battery: Description and Operation
There are six battery fluid caps on top of the battery.
These are covered by a paper label. The battery is completely sealed except for the six small vent holes on the side. These vent holes permit the
escape of small amounts of gas generated by the battery. This type of battery has the following advantages over conventional batteries:
1. There is no need to add water during the entire service life of the battery.
2. The battery protects itself against overcharging.
The battery will refuse to accept an extensive charge. (A conventional battery will accept an excessive charge, resulting in gassing and loss of
battery fluid.)
3. The battery is much less vulnerable to self discharge than a conventional type battery.
