    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Battery Setup

I bought a new battery on the internet and it comes dry. What kind of acid or fluid should I pour in? Where can I buy it?
Thanks for amy help
 
Normally a new battery comes with the acid to add. I would check around at auto parts stores, or battery stores, or even Sears Automotive and see if they have any suggestions. I think the type and concentration of the acid is pretty standard for all lead-acid batteries, it should just be a matter of getting some without the battery. Good luck.
 
Is it a sealed battery ?? It should have come with the battery acid It could be a shipping restriction
 
Just got into the same thing last week. Both Auto Zone & Advanced Auto Parts had a 32 oz. bottle, for $3.95.
 
It's a common battery , not sealed

Comes dry. No acid. The last time I bought one I had to take it to a closeby shop to prepare it (acid+charge)
 
Personally, I'd take it back and go get a Diehard. The Sears battery comes with fluid, nice long new vent hose, and instructions. Including how much to charge and how long.
 
My battery came with all charging & maintenance paper work, only thing missing was the acid. The acid from Advanced Auto Parts was identical to what comes with a motorcycle. even has the snip off spout & little hose to fill a motorcycle battery with.
