Battery Indicator

I checked the battery this morning. The indicator has a red dot at the middle. It means require charging. After I took a round trip 1 hour drive, the indicator shows the same thing. I took out a battery charger and hooked up to the battery. After a few minutes, it said fully charged. I don't have any problem starting. Just curious anyone else has the same problem. I am very worried about the small battery size on the Fit. But it seems like there is no room to put a bigger size after market one.

how old is the battery?

there's a thread in the first generation forum about the battery.
i think some people were having problems with it after 2 years.

i have seen guys install an optimum (spelling?) yellow top in place of where the stock battery is. if it is newer than an 07 dont even worry about it, just make sure to drive it regularly for at least 20 minutes.
