you can go to Ace Hardware, Home Depot and Lowes to purchase the acid if you do not have one of these stores by you a battery store will have acid but it needs to be 1.265 specific gravity and 6 quarts

I bought the acid basement watchdog recommended. Sorry don't know exact name. Would strongly suggest buying a small funnel to fill battery instead of using the pinch method in instructions.

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.

Your old battery has Cranking Amps: 230 and the Voltage:=12. The amazon 12V / 18Ah Sealed Lead Acid will not supply the cranking amps like the sp-30-230. If your machine is well tuned it may start every time, or if you run the lights or other accessories it may fail quickly.. I would get the sp-30-230, its made to fit correctly and power your machine...

Dealer ships battery with acid separately in same box. Remove battery & acid from box, remove caps on battery and add already premeasured amount of acid, close caps and trickle charge for 24 hours. Relatively painless, just remember you need a trickle charger to charge battery! Hope this helps!

In answer to the kind and amount of acid to put in the battery....we take the battery to the NAPA parts store. They have a little machine which handles this dangerous liquid and they know how much to put in each cell. Hope this helps. Best not to try this yourself. Very dangerous to handle this liquid yourself.

Simple.You need a two channel transmitter. Futaba is a popular brand. You will need a battery . 7.2 volt any where around 3500mah will give a good run time. Duratrax makes a good quality battery. Then last by not least. A charger.The simpler the better especially new to the hobby. You can find all of these items easily on Amazon or ebay. Towerhobbies.com s a gorgeous resource as well. If you need help just let me know. I am glad to help out now R/C people. It's a fun hobby.-Matt

Hello. You need to call a company called 'PumpBiz'. Just google them. I have a marine battery so it is sealed and does not need acid. The watchdog has a long metal prong that is suppose to go into the battery cell so as to alert you when the acid drops and you need to fill it (if you have that kind of battery). If you have a non acid battery such as mine you need to cut off the long prong and strip the wire so as to wrap it around the battery post. If you are using a acid filled battery and have the prong inside, I do not know why you have the sound? Sometimes the battery gets confused that it is not getting enough energy and will sound a alert. Call PumpBiz and talk to Jeff Richmond, he will help you. You can also google and call the Watchdog manufactures. Hope this helps.

I already had an AGM in my bike. In my opinion, and other places I have read, I think an AGM battery is recommended. I think you can boil a lead acid battery.

No acid, its a gel battery. It comes with 70% charge. I put it in and ran the bike a while to top it off.

Hard to answer without more specifics. All batteries will eventually wear out, including lead-acid batteries like this one. They start to go bad as soon as the acid is added, but the process is speeded up with repeated drain/charge cycles. Basement watchdog batteries are shipped without acid: you must purchase this locally and add it to the battery. If the acid is added correctly and the battery still doesn't function it is defective. If it can't hold a charge after minimal use, either it is defective or there is a problem with the charger or its connections. A defective battery should be covered under warranty.

Lika all lead-acid batteries, you need a charger. I use the Battery Tender 021-0123 Battery Tender Junior 12V Battery Charger. Costs about $20-25.

It takes an 18650 3000mAmp 3.7v Lithium Ion. Battery specialty store might have it.

Yes. The acid is in the tubes. You just push the set of tubes down onto the battery and wait about 20 minutes or so until all the acid goes into the battery. Put a charger on it overnight, and you should be good to go.
