Old style lead acid batteries are now sent 'dry charged' you have to get them filled by someone who's got a licence to handle high concentrates of acid.
Basically, they charge them and remove the acid, they can only be stored like this for maximum of 24mths, so check the battery date if older return it. They're then refilled, left for approx 30mins, test voltage 12.5v or above it's good to go, below 12.5 charge it.
