Motorcycle Battery Acid Filling Service

Our acid filling service is temporarily suspended due to COVID 19 restrictions

New changes to government legislation mean that from July 1st 2018 it will be illegal for a member of the public to purchase a motorcycle battery that is supplied with a separate acid pack without them holding an Explosives Precursors and Poisons (EPP) licence. This will have far reaching effects for motorcycle battery consumers.
