Is shipping acid separately from the battery something new that battery makers are doing? This is the first time I've seen this.
Since the dawn of time as far as Lead/Acid batteries are concerned.
yes. that is how they are shipped (normally) or at least how they were shipped not all that many years ago.. Once the battery arrived at the store. just before putting it out on display, a technician would add the acid.. (Today I'm not so sure they do it that way in many stores.. I'm not sure I'd trust a minimum wage technician to play with acid and not get hurt.. And many stores today won't pay my well trained price).
But that is how Batteries were shipped for a long, long, time, and some still are today.
