Up North we call it canoe beer, as close to water as you can get!

Just take your battery back… the seller should replace it.  
I have not replaced my own car/truck batteries in years. But I do replace my lawnmower’s battery when necessary. Brand new it may still take a couple of hours charging before I install it.

When I was living in central NY there was a Miller Brewery about 20 miles away. I had a few high-school friends who worked there until it closed. None of them drank Miller (or Lowenbrau - also made at the Brewery). It’s been closed for over 20 years and now is a Sunoco Ethanol Plant. And back in 2015 they started making Malt Barley for specialty ■■■■ companies.

I just hope the products don’t get mixed up.
