Bought a new set of Flooded’s Friday. Just for the hell of it I checked the water. It was DOWN to barely above the plates. Is this the way it is now? Complaints registered to all parties.

Who the hell checks water level in new batteries?

What say you?

How are batteries shipped these days?

At one time they were shipped dry, meaning they could need more acid?
