Why would a battery come without the acid included? Like buying a car without the engine.

Doesn't make sense....because you can buy acid from a different amazon site....so nothing to do with not being able to ship the acid....great battery though!

I had the same question. Regardless, the battery was a great deal even when I had to go buy acid elsewhere.

Because it is a "Hazardous" product and companies would like to make sure an adult purchased it. Liability insurance is expensive, the battery would cost more for shipping, and you can get it for $10 at some auto stores.

A Lead-Acid battery like this begins its useful lifespan as soon as it is filled with acid. If you buy a battery that was filled several years ago, it may be about to expire by the time you fit it into your application. Also, the flipping and turning during shipment may cause acid to leak from the vent holes, causing battery damage and a hazardous situation. Generally, an empty battery is shipped with a bottle of acid so you can activate it yourself, but this vendor has chosen not to.

The acid come in a plactic container that is easily transferred to the battery.

yes, we do. please note that this battery does not come with acid, you will need to get it separately.

This might not be a direct answer but I bought a separate charger for this battery because I read about many people complaining how the battery life had gotten shorter as a result of using lead acid chargers.

I honestly can't remember as I bought two batteries. A different one for each ATV I have. I believe this one did not come with acid. I had ot buy it separately.

I had to find my owners manual, but straight from the owners manual "contains a sealed, non-spillable, lead acid battery. Must be disposed of properly"

If I remember right, no. I don't think they can ship non-sealed batteries with the acid in them. It is fairly inexpensive to buy at the auto parts store.

thank you very much for your prompt reply. I completely understand and agree with your point. I had not known each battery was packaged separately. Greatly appreciated.

I'm not sure. Mine came with separate acid bottles which I had to add. The problem for me is that after I installed it the battery never would hold a charge & eventually would drop down to 10.64 vdc. I called the company & they wouldn't warrant the battery after 2 months. That sure isn't a very impressive warranty. Needless to say, I'd purchase a different brand. I know Walmart has a better warranty then that!

No battery with my purchase. If the product description is "bare tool" it generally means no battery. Yes, the battery is fairly expensive - if you already own a similar tool + battery, it makes sense to buy a new different tool "bare".

No, you have to prep it by adding the enclosed acid. It is a relatively easy process. Don't add the acid until you're ready to use the battery. I keep a spare because I've had trouble finding one when I needed it right away.

Purchased unit 10/2011 and mine did not come with oil. so all you need is oil and gas. Battery included and mine came with acid as a kit you assemble.

Please do not add this product to a lead acid battery. Lead acid batteries contain sulfuric acid. When sulfuric acid comes in contact with aluminum as in aluminum sulfate, it produces hydrogen gas which burns and could cause the battery to burst injuring you. If you simply add lead, without creating an electrode, it could also cause a problem. Put your safety first and just buy a new battery.

My guess, you will have to get it from the company, or at least call them. FYI, I bought mine at a truck sale, when 5.3 was current. Neuton had a tech expert there who said that lead-acid batteries must be kept charged. I kept mine plugged in over the winter, no problems this spring. Letting it discharge completely is bad for the battery.

I didn't know either, but since my grandauther's vehicle was on storage for 5 years. I just assumed it was the battery and ordered a new one. Now it works perfect and my grandson is using it daily.

Charged? There's no battery in them! ;-) As for lighter fluid, no, it doesn't come pre-filled.
