Ok thanks for that blown up diagram. I understand the lock strips now. I assume you rarely open the body, but when you do open it you can reuse a lock strip? The original owner is sending me a manual so I think I'm good.

Back with other questions. I figured I could send you an email but why not answer it here and maybe answer some else's curiousity at the same time?
1) I saw in the manual that you recommended removing the locking strips during charging, just in case the batteries vented. Could you not loosen or remove the testing/vent port during charging instead?
2) Does one normally use the test port to verify oring integrity any time its been opened? Or is that typically reserved for special times when (e.g.) you needed to change the orings?
