Q:
Autocraft Battery Acid 32FL OZ
Part No. CYCLE ACID
Can this be added pure strength into a new motorcycle battery? I mean it does not need to be diluted with distilled water when filling a brand new battery for the first time that is currently dry. Then of course I know the battery must then be charged according to the manufactures specification.
So the question is; this fluid is ready and should be used full strength??
Correct ??
ThanksAsked on 1/2/2013 by 4Wheels from NJ1 answer

Q:
I purchased two of these thinking they would refill the two batteries from when my boat got swamped last summer. They did not even fill my marine bAttery, and the store is out. There should be more instructions about how much is needed to fill a battery. The folks at advance did not know either. Will end up costing me at least $40 00 if not more, supposed to be in tomorrow, don't know how it will affect my batteries.Asked on 1/2/2013 by Tdr76 from Jax, fl1 answer
CUSTOMER CARE
A:
The Autocraft Battery Acid - Part No. CYCLE ACID comes as a pack of 32 Oz. There is no specific amount of battery acid to be filled and it depends on the existing condition of your battery. Fill each cell of the battery to a level just covering the battery plates, and then go back and top off each cell equally. It is important to have the cells filled equally or the battery will not operate properly. The acid should reach a level about 3/16” below the cap ring as shown in the diagram. A newly filled battery will sometimes require additional acid after about 20 minutes. Re-examine the fill level and add additional acid if necessary.

Q:
How do u change the acid in a car battery?Asked on 9/26/2011 by Anonymous1 answer
CUSTOMER CARE
A:
The acid used is generally sulphuric Acid. Yes you can change it. We would not recommend it for anyone not trained on how to do it. In any case if the acid is depleted the battery will most likely be useless too. We would suggest you to have a proper guidance from a battery expert. Perhaps you should check the specific gravity and add DISTILLED water as necessary; about 5mm above the plates should be OK.Answered on 9/29/2011 by Vincent from AAP
