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 (motorcycle combi-packs and 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)
