Hello group. Attached is a picture of my battery. It appears to me the manufacturer has deliberately covered the eye hole with some plastic. I tried pop this off but the width of the tiny slot is smaller than even my tiniest screwdriver. Called the 800 number to no avail. Messaged Battery Partners/ P1 Battery but no answer. My dealer 400 miles away won’t answer directly just insists it’s maintenance free and I don’t do anything.
Anyone seen the eye covered like this before? I tried pop off the whole top cover of the battery but it seems thats meant to stay permanently attached

It looks like a maintenance free battery to me.
Is the battery still good? Reason I ask is, it seems like I can vaguely remember having a battery with that same thing on it. But what I'm remembering is it glowed lightly green or red. Depending on whether it was a good battery or a bad one.
I really don't know why there would be an "inspection" eye for anything else.
I’ve had the RV exactly a year, though it may have sat on the dealer’s lot for up to a year first. So max 2 years. Battery Works just fine. Definitely seems the eye is covered over, it never glows green, red, or any colour.

It appears to be a maintenance free battery. So why do you want to see the eye? if there is one.
A better idea of the condition of the battery is to take it to a battery shop and have them load test it.
