When ever i sell a MF battery i ask the customer if they would like me to prepare it for them, if they say yes then i fill it, put the cap on give them the battery and tell them leave it an hour or so before putting it on the bike.

Thanks
NO NO NO NO as a dealer you should know better.
The acid needs time to react with the plates, and a lot of heat and gas is given off in this time. You have to wait until the battery goes cool before sealing, else you will damage it.
