When I first Lucased this line, I got a shock, it was very negative. But positive thinking, currently there's something about watt people are saying, that Exides me.

If you don't get a licence they will put you in a cell.

From 1 July it will be become illegal for a member of the public to purchase a motorcycle battery that is supplied with a separate acid pack without them holding an Explosives Precursors and Poisons (EPP) licence.
An EPP licence is not required for batteries supplied with the acid already inside. These are exempt as a filled battery is classified as “specific object”.
The new legislation means sulphuric acid has been reclassified as a regulated substance and members of the public wishing to acquire, possess or use sulphuric acid above a 15% concentration will need an EPP licence to do so.
From 1 November 2018 it will become an offence to possess or use sulphuric acid at concentrations of over 15%, without a valid EPP licence. This includes bottles of battery electrolyte that have not yet been put into a motorcycle battery.


If I had a business selling batteries on Ebay I think I would be worried.
