Your right about that, many people just assume the all the new batteries come in the new cars are that way. Decieving since it has those "*****" for the water tubes.

just be careful...

seriously... so easy to spark with a watch or a ring.. and boom.. not pretty.. I did wear safety glasses.. and took off watch and rings.
I know, I know.. but then again, I've known people who've had batteries blow up on them. (usually with jumper cables tho). Nasty stuff.. just follow the directions. I got a water dropper thing for .99 at Napa.

Heard a story about a guy wearing a ring, working near the battery. Somehow ring got between + & - and the ring fused to whatever it had touched. Guy lost his finger, it burned off.
