Factor
Introduce with . Since ,
These are the charged analogue of ingoing Eddington-Finkelstein coordinates. The block has determinant , so the metric and its inverse are nonsingular at . For , is real and the metric extends analytically through it. The original potential becomes ; the radial term is locally exact, and a gauge transformation gives the horizon-regular potential .
