Does sealed and comes with acid mean that the acid is already in the battery and that the battery is ready to use or do I have to add the acid myself?

Battery is ready to use, you don't have to do a thing! It's actually a damned good battery....no trouble up to now.

It comes sealed with the acid in it and ready to install when you take it out of the box. It's a good battery. I haven't had any problems with it.

This battery is ready to go my man. I've never heard of adding acid to a new battery. I installed this easy in my Yamaha Grizzly 350

AGM means acid-gel matrix. No filling, just make sure it's fully charged & install.

Don't know about warranty. It is my understanding that sealed lead acid batteries are good for a certain number of discharge/recharge cycles and then they are shot. So it is not a matter of time, but a matter of how many times you have had a power outage that drains the battery. If you leave a sealed lead acid battery sit discharged for a long time,that will kill it too.

Acid is shipped in box but not in battery. It must be put in battery, sealed then charged.

you do have to fill it with the acid that comes with it, which takes like ten minutes, if that, but you don't have to charge it, i filled it and as soon as i put the caps on it i tested the voltage and it was over 12 volts, put it on my quad and started right up, i then rode arround and let it charge some more!

The below answers are excellent. Make sure you buy a sealed battery because a non sealed battery can give off hydrogen gas while charging, which is explosive . I bought the recommended battery from the vendor which was pricy, but met all their specs.

Yes it comes without acid in the battery, BUT it comes with the acid in a (applicator ) and you just follow instructions and it puts in the exact amt in each cell, all at once, then YOU seal the battery with item that comes with it. very clean & easy.

My battery was slidining in nd out freely. Looks lie your battery had a body damage and the acid rected with the battery's body.

I guess it depends on how much acid damage there is to the unit and how much is your own piece of mind worth. I would be more concerned with the "why" the battery split. That's not normal to my knowledge. Not sure throwing a new battery into the unit will solve the root problem.

Hi Jonathan,Yes you do have the fill the battery with electrolytes and No you do not have to charge the battery. It is actually really simple to do. You take the black strip off of the container filled with electrolytes, pull off the red strip from battery then you take the container and push it into the top of the battery which has these openings that are pointed. These pointed openings/tubes pierce thru the containers covered foil and the electrolytes flow into the battery. After that is done, make sure you save the black strip because that is what secures the top of the bat. I hope this explains it for you.

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

Like all sealed lead acid batteries in storage, there is a minimal charge. Once installed, in a properly working alarm panel, it should fully charge in a very brief time.

Hello John,Yes, this is a sealed, rechargeable battery. It arrives with the factory charge which is usually around 95% of capacity. It can be used right away to start the machine. However, if you have the time available, we recommend a top charge with a quality charger for 4-6 hours. Best Regards, Battery Supersite

I believe there's a sticker with a picture on it. it is truly as simple as taking the bottle and putting it on top of the battery and pushing the bottle down over the holes. wait for the acid to drain into the battery then remove the bottle. Install the cap over the holes. Charge the battery at 2 Amps until done. the whole process shouldn't take more than an hour.

Gadgets like this can typically be kept topped up with a jumper from the car's lighter socket to the gadget's lighter socket. The better cords for the purpose have fuses in their plugs. The car's own voltage regulator maintains adequate level for intermittently charging the sealed lead acid battery without damage.

It's a specialized battery and it's sealed. There is a way to open it, but not recommended for the lay person as it is hard to maintain the connections when pulling it apart and putting it together (watched you-tube videos about it.) My battery life is pretty decent for the size of the unit, but not the best due to all the add-ons it can run.

Yes, you will have to add your own acid. You can get it at an auto parts store.

Sorry, I returned the battery because I had to fill it with acid, not something I wanted to do!! Maybe that's why your battery is not charging!!
