Does it come with instructions on how to fill the acid and charge it before using it for the first time? Are there instructions anywhere online?

I believe there's a sticker with a picture on it. it is truly as simple as taking the bottle and putting it on top of the battery and pushing the bottle down over the holes. wait for the acid to drain into the battery then remove the bottle. Install the cap over the holes. Charge the battery at 2 Amps until done. the whole process shouldn't take more than an hour.

I have never looked for instructions online but used the ones supplied with the battery itself.

The instructions are not clear.Go to this link on YouTube and follow the instructions exactly as shown, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xpg10yp4duoIt is important to begin charging the battery with the battery caps not sealed completely. Good luck

Dealer ships battery with acid separately in same box. Remove battery & acid from box, remove caps on battery and add already premeasured amount of acid, close caps and trickle charge for 24 hours. Relatively painless, just remember you need a trickle charger to charge battery! Hope this helps!

The instructions that come with it say to charge it first. I'm sure it may have some charge when it arrives, but probably not full.

This battery is ready to go my man. I've never heard of adding acid to a new battery. I installed this easy in my Yamaha Grizzly 350

No acid involved. Drain fluid from battery, down to the fins. Now take the distilled water and mix one of the premeasured solutions and mix it up then put it into one cell. Do that for all the cells. It didnt work on mine bu good luck on yours

I bought 3 in 2011. I don't recall any instructions. It is designed to charge a 12 volt or lower system. Care must be taken not to over charge the battery. I hooked them up to my car battery for a trickle charge. There is a diode in the black box on the back so at night it will not discharge the battery. Make sure it is hooked up right. check the voltage in sunlight to be sure which is positive and negative. Hook up solar panel positive to battery positive etc.

I received the battery without any acid. The online price for acid was around $12.00. I went to my local auto parts supply, and asked for battery acid for an atv battery. The cost for me was about $5.00. If one doesn't have it another might.. When I filled the acid, per instructions,it seemed a bit low , but added distilled water, after the battery absorbed all it could, to the correct level. I then charged it up with a 2amp or lower charger.The battery is a good battery and has performed very well.. Good luck Brian A

Yes it will and it will float charge once battery is fully charged so no worries of boiling the acid out

Allen: after using this charger a few times I am disappointed in it. One of the charging stations actually heats up the battery and it starts to leak acid. I stopped using it all together. I was standing next to it and heard a pop after not relizing what it was it took a bit to open the charger and find this is what made the noise. This charges very well but that one station kills the battery. I'm sorry to say I am disappointed to say the least. To answer your querstion it has lights above each charging station and they go from red to green when the batteries ar charged.

I don't know, but I know I have to sent it back right away when I got it. Acid battery is the problem and won't last long.

Mine came with no instructions also but normally with all my batteries I charge them on 2 amp charge for 3 to 4 hours to make sure its fully charged

I had the same question after i received the charger, there were no instructions with it. It came wraped in a peice of plastic. I ended up purchasing a new charger with a digital guage so i could tell if the battery was fully charged.

As best as I recall, mine came with simple instructions. Maybe I can help you... I use mine quite a bit

If the acid has been sitting in the battery for a while then make sure the battery doesn't feel warm anymore. Take a volt meter, measure voltage and if above 12v then install and enjoy! If the voltage is lower or right at 12v then I would trickle charge it. Just depends what size starter you're trying to turn over..........

Instructions were on the box as I recall. Plug it in. Mount the battery. Wait about 8 or 9 hours for full charge. Use the USB port as alternate power source.

1st -- I suggest that you attach the battery terminals first (make sure of the color coding: red to red, black to black) 2nd -- select the setting you wish (low amps for slow overnight charge; higher amps for 1-2 hour charge; start for highest amps). 3rd -- plug in the charger to your power source. The meter and the lights will tell you when you have a full charge.

mine came with a small manual. you just need to use the cable to charge it for about 2 hours, then you should be able to use it.
