    When filling the battery we got when resurrecting the 9R[1] I just
    inverted the still capped bottles and pressed it down on the
    conveniently shaped holes. They were surrounded by a small lip, see -
    just the right size to punch through the foil and let the acid into the
    chambers.

    Alternatively, remove foil, invert battery, apply to bottles, invert
    combination and wait until drained.

    [1] Which is now sorted, I'm taking it to work tomorrow, expect
    something to be broken.

    Seems similar to the "japlish" instruction card, then.
    That was my alternative.....

    Pa used to keep a BFO lorry battery in the workshop for testing things.
    One day he used it to test a bulb while it was still on charge with the
    caps off. We did try not to laugh as he came running into the house,
    wound open the bath taps & jumped in still fully clothed. Fucking
    impressive bang mind.

    I suspect the milkman may have had something to do with it.
