New Rule Regarding Battery Purchases. - dapleb - 24-07-2018 Was just having a chin wag with me local (ish) battery shop and they informed me of the new regulation regarding battery purchase. Had a quick Google and https://www.yuasa.co.uk/2018/06/important-uk-announcement-new-regulations-will-change-the-way-motorcycle-batteries-can-be-sold/ So for my local(ish) battery shop this means I need to go in and pay for battery...... Then they can fill and charge the battery (3-4 hours) then I can collect the battery lolzio. Local (ish) is 15 miles so that don't really work do it.
