The factory-installed battery is a maintenance-free type on all the Mitsubishi models covered by this manual. That means that you'll never have to remove caps (there aren't any) to add water. But a yearly inspection and cleaning of the battery, connections, and battery mountings is recommended to guarantee maximum reliability.
NOTE: On a sealed maintenance-free sealed battery a built-in hydrometer or eye is used for checking the fluid level and specific gravity readings. If your battery is equipped with an eye, use it for checking the condition of the battery by determining the color of the eye. Refer to the battery case or owner manual for further instructions. Replacement batteries could be either sealed maintenance-free or a non-sealed type.
