You would do better to buy from as local a dealer as you can, they are only supposed to be sold filled and ready to go


but surely that's a matter for them if they are still supplying mail order is it not?


In the big scheme, maybe - but given there is a maximum two year prison sentence and unlimited fine if they get caught or if there is any incident resulting from them breaking the law it would be obscenely stupid.

Its been dropped into the poison and firearms regulations ya see. I would not expect too many idiots to persist in sending acid products through the courier or mail system.
Why do I persist in debating with idiots ? I really should know better :)

Charlie, you may have seen my other post, Tayna prefill the battery, plug it all up, seal it in a vacuum bag then VERY carefully box it, their service has been excellent, can't fault them

I didn't see it Dave, but it still sounds like they are dancing around illegality there.

Unless the battery is sealed tamperproof it should not be sent out with acid in it. The law is very, ver clear on that. Whether you or I agree with the law is irrelevant of course - it is what it is

Just received a new YUASA battery from TAYNA, extremely good service as usual.
