Inquiry (采购产品): auto battery Do I understand correctly that 12v auto batteries are shipped "dry" (without acid added) to distributors or dealers to preserve shelf-life, and that after adding the acid shipped with battery, it is then fully charged and ready for use? What is the shelf-life of the dry battery? Where can I purchase a dry battery with acid to add when needed for emergency equipment? I realize I can purchase a battery with the acid in it already, but then the battery must be maintained for possibly long periods with a float charger. Thank you for your response.
