Moisture sensor question on Craigslist buy

Ok maybe I am paranoid but I just bought a used Epic off Craigslist this past weekend.

The battery seems to drain fast - yes, I am a noob and am reading on how to prolong life.

But- the battery itself has a moisture sticker that is white. There are no other stickers I can see in the phone when I remove the back cover. Is this the normal sticker color?

I am coming from a TP2 that has moisture sensors which are white with red cross hatches on it. Does this mean my unit was exposed to water already???

Are there anymore moisture sensors that my seller removed?

Sorry for being Paranoid.
BTW Android is great!

There are a lot of things you can do to prolong battery life, as I am sure you are discovering, but if you're not getting at least 6-8 hours per charge at a minimum you might want to invest in a new battery. There are a few threads about where to get good cheap replacement batteries, you don't need to buy one from Sprint or Samsung.
