It’s pretty common for motorcycle batteries to be supplied with a separate acid pack, but from 1 July 2018, you will need to apply for and receive a valid Explosives Precursors and Poisons (EPP) licence, which is set to cost £39.50, before you can purchase one.

People stealing the acid packs I'm guessing.ktards , if i wanted some sulphuric acid i would just drain it out of and old battery not buy a new one to get the acid pack what is this supposed to stop ? Whilst I don't agree with it, the government has to be seen to be doing something, an official response to high profile calls for regulation from victims can't just be "there's no practical way of stopping this, so as a society we just have to accept sometimes innocent people will have their faces melted". They have to do something, even if it is retarded.
That said though, I think most criminals (not all) are genuinely a bit thick and definitely lazy, so this sort of thing really does slow some of them down.

Similar approach to the clamping down on online knife sales. Dealers and makers of expensive knives saying they are going to be put out of business when the stabbings are done with kitchen knives and screwdrivers.
