| What are people doing for their 6V batteries these days? I see a number of places selling 'dry' batteries that cost a fortune and then you still need to go somewhere to buy the acid to actually fill them. |

| I am driving a 6v 66ah Varta Battery bought on eBay 2 years ago (so cannot say if prices evolved but it wasn't cheap already..). Acid was delivered with it but separately, just needed to fill it when it arrived. Bests Antoine |

| Unfortunately the law was changed in the UK and they can no longer supply the acid through the post. [quote]The Poisons Act 1972 (Explosives Precursers) (Amendment) Regulation 2018 make it illegal to supply a dry battery with acid pack to private individuals without a valid Poisons Licence (EPP Licence) Therefore all classic batteries supplied within the UK will be shipped dry WITHOUT acid.[/quote] |
