Should my S4 battery be completly dry ?
Car would not start this morning as battery flat.
Taken it off to charge and it is completly dry inside, I
assume it should be filled with distilled water ?

Yes, I reckon it should have some acid in it. I wouldn't charge it till your sure.
PM me your email address and I will send you a document.

I thought it needed distilled water top ups. The acid should still be there. However if all cells are dry than you might have a crack somewhwere

I'm pretty sure batterys these days arent meant to need any maintanence.. it may be worth splashing the cash on a new one to save any potential starting problems when it really counts etc [img]images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Cheers Guys,
Filled it up and charged it overnight, seems ok but will
be getting a new one just in case.
