Question control instrument panel switch ID

A friend offered to make me a new control panel cover out of a laminate. As he was making a template, he noticed that there are identifications at each of the switches/gauges. Good catch! They are really hard to read. Can someone help?

upper gauges:
I think the leftmost gauge is the ammeter.... can't begin to read what it says beneath it. Anyone know? The next gauge, with switch beneath looks like it says BATTERY CHECK. But the second word is hard to make out. Can anyone verify this?

lower switches:
The next four switches (first switch is the battery related one) I think I've made out to say above:
WATER LEVEL, HOLDING TANK, WATER PUMP, PANEL LIGHT

Thanks for any assistance!
Laura

You are right about the ammeter and battery check guages.

Can your friend make 2?

I think he'll make a few. But it's being done on the sly - at his work. He said that once he got it right, he'd copy the info onto a disc/thumb drive that I could take to any sign shop (ones that do the laminate name placards).

I'll post when I get it!

Thanks for the feedback guys!
