Jap battery sticker translation - can you help?
Hi folks
This photo is of my battery with three different states of charge/health/fluid level etc. IMG_2738.JPG Can anyone translate exactly what the different ones mean? In particular the blue with the red center dot. Fluid levels appear to be OK, but one battery is blue and the other has the red dot... eekk. Matt

I would say the blue one is ok, but the others would be not so good.

I used to have one just like that. My guess is they mean "Working OK", "Needs charging up" and "Dump it in the skip".
I can't help thinking that if the battery is duff, then you will quickly figure it out without needing to look at the indicator.

Blue w/ red dot = fully charged
Clear w/ red dot = discharged Full red dot = add water I could have those last two flip-flopped, but I'll check at work tomorrow lol

I have 2 of these batteries (in a 4runner) and one of them is just showing blue with no red dot, and the other has the blue with the red dot. So I don't think the blue with red dot is a normal condition.

So what's blue with no red dot on a battery that has a sticker as per the photo? Both of the batteries have the same indicator and sticker and one of them is showing a red dot as per the sticker and one of them is just showing blue with no red dot. Paddles - you speak japanese don't you? I guess both of them are allright, I'd just like to translate that sticker if possible.
Cheers folks Matt
