Which component does the circled symbol represent?

That's a neon lamp or gas discharge surge arrestor.

Thanks! But how do I confirm which one is that?
james_s:
By looking at the device, or examining the BOM, or by understanding what it is you are trying to build and selecting the appropriate component for the job. It is being used as a surge suppressor, whether it's a purpose built device or a neon lamp used as one I can't say just from the schematic.

Looks like it's going to a battery pack.
If it was a Gas Discharge Surge arrestor it would explode if it ever arcs over and shorts the battery.
So it's probably a neon.
Or it may just be a symbol they picked to show the battery connector??
