After you clean cells, do you refill with battery acid?

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

Dump and flush batteries, mix kit with distilled water for each battery, finish filling battery with distilled water, charge batteries normally until charger cuts off automatically, I was able to save 3 of my six batteries. Date batteries= 2003. This did save a fair amount above cost of kit.

The short answer is yes. You may want to run your batteries through a conditioning cycle to make sure that they are properly prepared for the quick charge cycle.

NO! I just rinsed with cold water for several minutes. So technically the acid was still doing its thing. Use water/baking soda mixture to stop it quickly. Btw just used this for 3rd time, left on little longer than previous two, & SO pleased with results. Better each time!

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!!

No, the battery came fully charged and ready to use! If yours is not fully charged, battery came with great instructions on how to use. Super easy!!

Before using this filler, you could use an acid peal( glycolic or tricloroacetic acidTCA), to help remove dead cells

Pop the batteries into the unit and it charges. Will stop when they are full. If you want to refresh, then place batteries into unit and press and hold refresh button for a few seconds. Refresh will take over night. Overall on the best chargers!

When we received the battery the acid was in a separate container and had to be added to battery. Then battery then had to be charged.

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.

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.

You unscrew the top part and take the battery pack out, refill and put it back together. My friends did all of the above but could not make it work anymore.... May be a little piece of garbage, unfortunately. Return them to the store they came from. I have another make that also broke... Hand cranked is better and does not break!

No the battery is shipped without acid. You have to add acid and charge it.

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.

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.

Yes you just need to clean it mine was blinking but with no KILL. Had over 20 kills on a new set of Duracell Batteries and when I used a battery tester they were still 90 percent. I would defiantly recommend Duracell for a fast reliable kill.

If you use Bromine now there is no need to drain and refill. Always best to start out clean and clear but it is bromine

If your batteries have removable caps so that you can refill the cells, you need to get some distilled water, and this refilled quickly and accurately in no time at all!
