One thing cool about the battery in the new Mirage is that you can remove the vent caps on the battery very easily. The battery casing is a translucent plastic so you can see the fluid levels inside and you can add distilled water as needed. I know some prefer the "maintenance free" batteries but I think this is pretty cool. I understand that if you keep up on these, they will outlast a maintenance free version by quite a while. Conor |

One of my electric Metros used to have a whole bunch of batteries that needed water. What a job to keep up with!![]() I replaced them with lithium, so no more adding water. Much easier this way..

That's the way they came a long time ago. I remember our Datsuns had panasonic batteries with translucent cases. |

I love that the battery is right up on top, and that you don't have to take out trunk paneling or remove headlights/bumpers to get to it. |

Hardly ever these days with temperature compensated voltage regulators. |

Do you still have those Trojans? Capacity still good? Edited by JellyBeanDriver, Apr 9 2016, 10:47 PM.
