Shield 401 6v Classic Car Battery

Owing to the legislation below, we can no longer supply a dry battery with a separate acid pack to consumers unless that consumer can produce an EPP (Explosives Precursor and Poisons) Licence in person at one of our Battery Centres. This will make it almost impossible for us to legally supply a dry battery and acid pack to someone that has ordered a motorcycle combi-pack or a dry charged classic car battery online.

NOTE: As the new legislation does not affect business sales, we are still able to supply batteries with acid packs on receipt of a written order on Company headed paper.

All dry batteries ( hard rubber "classic car" batteries, etc) will have to be filled and charged at a third-party location.

This battery if ordered will be shipped as a dry battery WITHOUT ACID

On 3 April 2018, the Poisons Act 1972 (Explosives Precursors Amendment) Regulations 2018 were introduced to make sulphuric acid a regulated explosives precursor. Offences relating to the acquisition, importation and supply of sulphuric acid above 15% weight by weight & Offences relating to the possession and use of sulphuric acid above 15% weight by weight are now in effect.

We will supply the battery in one of the following ways:

1. Supplied dry and the receiver will need to take the dry battery to the nearest location that is able to fill and charge the battery. Note: A Third Party may make a charge for this service
2. Filled and Charged at one of Shield's Battery Centres for collection (Bishops Stortford / Yeovil / Poole / Leicester / North West-Leigh /Lincon Batteries-Leigh on Sea Essex)

Please note that the data given for all the batteries available on our Website is purely a guide and we cannot vouch for their accuracy. We receive data from battery manufacturers, and this may be subject to change and / or manufacturing tolerances.

By all means, use our suggested battery as a starting point, but you must compare all dimensions, terminal type and polarity against your current battery and satisfy yourself that you have selected the correct battery for purchase.

If in doubt, please either contact us for assistance or feel free to drop into any of Shield's Battery Centres.

We apologise for any inconvenience that this may cause - this is the result of legislation enacted by the UK Government that affects our entire industry. All reputable battery distributors are trying to work within the framework of the legislation.
