Larry,

You weren't wrong. He said he was looking for battery electrolyte and he
said he was looking in Louisiana. Assuming he means battery acid then he's
looking for 33.5% Sulfuric acid. I would imagine any chemical supply house
would sell Sulfuric acid and he can get distilled water at any supermarket.
JC Whitney sells battery acid over the internet so I'm surprised he can't
find it locally. Perhaps he should look for a motorcycle parts store.
