Default Incompetent- thats me

! After the saga with the last battery which the company refunded me for without a problem. I ordered another one after getting home from the op that I had on Monday. Whether it was me or the after effects of the anaesthetic I am not sure (to be honest it was me) I ordered a Yusa at a very good price with a free head torch, it arrived and I filled it with its acid only to find it was the wrong one!
Luckily the height was the only problem so I have removed the fuse bracket that fits on top of the battery and at the moment the fuse box is being held firm with duct tape (but I will fabricate a new bracket when I am a bit better).


One positive its CCA is rated at 180A - higher than the proper one - every cloud has a silver lining.

I did not think it was legal to ship batteries with separate acid any more - last couple I have had have had acid already filled. The law changed in November 2018.
