Its supposed to be filled with acid and then a little water on top.....this is so thru evaporation you will lose water and not acid if you keep checked regularly. Sounds like your battery was not filled. I would take it back. It will not charge with out the acid and it has to have the right amount of acid in it to hold a charge and have the right amp hr. capacity.
