Re: Tipped over battery

I remember in the 1960s when replacement batteries were sold dry and fluid was added when the battery was sold. This was to insure the customer got a fresh battery and not one of the traditional pre-filled ones that aged while being on the shelf for several months. The acid was in plastic bags with a sturdy cardboard box to hold it. We did not take any particular caution when filling the batteries but that was then and this is now.

I wonder why this way of storing and selling batteries was stopped? JWL
