This morning I received an invoice from Moss London, for one WestCo 
Gel-Filled battery plus shipping charge...

Total cost to me: 102.13 GBP (not 94 as quoted on the telephone)
= 163.41 USD. (urghh).

This evening, I managed to carefully carry the heavy battery the 1/4 mile to 
my lock-up garage and check it for fit. It fitted perfectly.

Moss gave a part no. of MXV1129X
 
WestCo have a Web site at <http://westcobattery.com/why.htm> 

They give the part no as 12V31M and quote a price of 79.95 USD
also a 4 year warranty on this battery, one year on most others.

I was disturbed to note that my new and slightly dusty battery is dead flat.
As it is supposedly sealed, I am wondering as to how I am supposed to charge 
it up for the first time?

It is still in the box in my hallway, having carried it back from my lock-up 
garage again. (no power there).

Does anyone have any advice, before I proceed?

I have also asked WestCo.
