John Deere 5075E (2012/13-ish)
Does anybody know what brand battery was supplied with these?
I suppose I could turn wrenches to find out, but am wondering if collective wisdom of TBN knows first:
The first three letters on the battery are "IND___" , (I thought maybe "INDIA" seeing how it was made there) but the rest of the letters are covered by the holder and I would of had to walk to other side of property to get wrench last night. Battery case is white. Top is red.
My 5075E has the original battery in it. So it's probably ~6 years old. It says "Maintenance Free", but I wanted to open/unscrew the 6 "covers" to check level and specific gravity, see if it needed to be topped off.
But I can't tell if the covers are real or just aesthetic/fake. They're built into another "cover"/top on the battery, and sit flush with that top. They have a "phillips head" screw head indentation on them (sort of), but my biggest screw driver was 3 times too small. Almost like a special tool might be needed if they really uncrew. That combined with "maintenance free" printed on the battery makes me wonder.
