Re: Acid Battery Question
Just purchased two batteries online for the Suzuki's. They were shipped dry. Advanced Auto and Autozone here in S.Jersey both sell the acid. I think I paid $9.99 for 32 oz of the stuff. FYI

Re: Acid Battery Question
I didn't fil my new 35 year ol battery. Put everything back in the box and put it in reserve on the shelf..
I took the battery that had some spattering around the fill holes and washed it off with a toothbrush. It took all the discoloration off the fill plugs an cleaned up ral nice. I can't bring myself to retire the battery as it takes and holds a good charge. Might as well get all I can out of it

I was born with nothing and still have most of it left.
