Jeff, I think you should be able to ship them normally. I would check with UPS first though but as far as I know you shouldn't have any problems because it's a sealed battery. Just make sure to use proper packaging material.
You can't and I repeat CAN'Tship a full battery through the mail or with any courier it is illegal as the full battery may explode and cause death so they say.

Through the mail, you're right, you can't. However, through UPS or another courier, I'm sure it's possible. Think about it, sealed batteries aren't made at the local bike shop or battery shop! They've got to get there somehow. I just don't know what the restrictions or requirements are.
If you can ship live ammo via UPS (which you can), you can sure as hell ship a sealed wet-cell battery...
Darren, that's bullshit. How do you think the gel cell batteries for UPS's, emergency lighting, alarm etc... get to the distributors. Just because the Canada Post won't deliver them does not mean that FedEx, CanPar or UPS won't. I've had them shipped to me so I know they do. As for Purolator, yeah they probably don't, they are owned by Canada Post, or vise-versa.
