I've used both the numerical and alpha charge labels; GE's instructions for the alpha say that if water is added after 3 charges then the indicator knob ought to be set on the next letter, slightly shortening the cycle. With a pack new in Jan '08, after appx 80 charges it's still on 'A.' The alpha label may be more precise over the life of the pack. There's a description of this on the myelec-traks.com site, see E-12 tractor manual GE-Z5535B.Cheers, Jack

The other uses "Start" then designates other starting points based on the age of the battery pack. I have found no description in any literature about the alphabetic style decal. I always felt the "battery pack" decal was more intuitive and probably succeeded the alphabetic one. However, this morning while replacing the broken mounting plate for the timer (aren't they all broken?1) I noticed two decals so I peeled off the alphabetical one to find a "battery pack" one under it. Now I am confused as to which decal design was first!
