No acid, it's a gel sealed battery. That being said, however, the one I received was completely dead and would not charge, nor hold a charge. The seller refunded my money and asked me to order a new one, but I didn't take the chance and went with a different brand.

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

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.

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.

Absolutely. Last summer, I left my lights on and ran the battery dead. I jumped it from a car and then when I got home I put it on a Battery Tender, Jr. for a full day and let it charge up. It's been fine ever since. Were it an old school battery, I would have had problems from sulfating. These are incredible batteries, and, at least for mine, the Battery Tender worked perfectly.

When I ordered my battery it came from one vender and the acid fill came from another and it was less than one half of the required amount. I had to make a trip to town and the local auto parts store and purchase an acid charge that was more than enough to charge the battery from an empty state. Now I have enough acid to charge another of the same battery. I will keep it sealed and it will be good when I purchase my next YB30L! So yes it came with the battery, included in the price but only half as much as required.

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.

I received the battery without any acid. The online price for acid was around $12.00. I went to my local auto parts supply, and asked for battery acid for an atv battery. The cost for me was about $5.00. If one doesn't have it another might.. When I filled the acid, per instructions,it seemed a bit low , but added distilled water, after the battery absorbed all it could, to the correct level. I then charged it up with a 2amp or lower charger.The battery is a good battery and has performed very well.. Good luck Brian A

I don't know. It came with premeasured fill to put in as in picture. Just remove black caps from acid supply and invert and will fill all 6 cells simultaneous. Then take black caps and seal battery.

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.

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.

That indicates battery is fulley charged and desulfated. It may take A while to finish the desulfating cycle but it is well worth the waiting, it will give your battery much added life.

give the battery a full charge. The battery will reach it full potential after a few charges and discharges.

I have 3 Watch Dog Sump Pumps. All three have been working for 9+ years. With that said, it will be the 'battery' you buy separately that you will have to replace. I chose a marine battery because you do not have to add acid. There is a probe on the Watch Dog that is suppose to go into the post of the battery to let you know how your acid level is. I do not bother with this and was instructed by 'PumpBiz' to wrap the prong around I think???? The positive side of the post. Hope this helps.

Hello, no I just put this new battery in and it works great!!! I have had really good luck with it and happy I purchased it. Hope you have the same success as I have with this battery.

You do not add acid to this sealed battery. Any charger except one with a desulphinator option will work.

No acid involved. Drain fluid from battery, down to the fins. Now take the distilled water and mix one of the premeasured solutions and mix it up then put it into one cell. Do that for all the cells. It didnt work on mine bu good luck on yours
