battery question

[mach1]

So I got a new battery from the local swapmeet sealed and in box the issue is he has no acid for it. most auto placed does not sell it b itself but they do sell battery water. what can I use to get the battery filled and charged.  Or where can I buy battery acid localy? Hawthorne california.

I would expect almost every battery specialist to have supply of battery acid - I just googled battery sales hawthorne california and there are lots of hits.
Give them a call - they may even fill it up for free!

well I work at pepboys so you would think we have the acid by itself but no only in the battery boxes. hmm maybe well see tomorrow

Any shop that deals in only batteries should be able to take care of you. Or a motorcycle shop - not necessarily a dealer, but a non-branded motorcycle parts/repair shop.

Oreilly Auto sells a 6 quart pack for $12. There is a location in your town. http://www.oreillyauto.com/site/c/detail/SSB0/6QT.oap?keyword=battery+acid

Isn't it just hydrochloric acid? Brew your own.

Battery acid is Sulfuric acid.
