Agreed. The battery was fully charged, and in good working order. Like I said, this was purely a proactive exercise. Also, when I said "topped up", I meant to the fill line, not full to the brim. ...

Thanks again for the tip, jeneric996. And yes, while there are + and - symbols molded next to the terminals, they are not easily seen, so your suggestion to mark these clearly is well taken.

Well, how about that!

Well, you are absolutely correct! I started to peel back the label and sure enough, there are the filler caps. This pic shows just the left label peeled partially off. Thank you for the tip.

Here is a pic of the battery in my '99C4. I expect this is a replacement battery and may or may not be like the OEM one.
