I defer to Al on that one, because I don't know. Here's what I know about batteries:

1) You charge them, they work, unless there's something wrong.
2) Typical lead-acid or gel-type construction internals.
3) Typical FRC batteries have a joint near the top and none visible near the bottom.

My response was based on 2) and 3) in that list.
