Availability of acid for dry-charged batteries
Just received a 'Banner' 30Amp-hr battery from Moto**** today without any acid in- fair enough, they told me beforehand that they could not send it complete with acid. Sure, no problemo, I always get the acid from Trenholmes in the village and then stick it in the battery.
It arrived this morning. Oh, bugger, Trenholmes closed down a couple of months ago. Another local garage now tells me that they are not permitted to sell battery acid any longer because of sodding Health & Safety.
Is this true, is there any point wasting more time asking around? One garage told me I could just use the acid from the old duff battery if it wasn't dirty and then give it a good charge. Hmm, sounds dodgy to me.
Any suggestions?
