Paul, I can pick up a battery for you at a good price in the morning if you let me know tonight on here.

Lead acid batteries do not like being taken down to that sort of level and will not be the same again if they are charged with normal chargers.

'Apparently' the latest, expensive, Optimate charger can revive very flat batteries.

MDS batteries who I deal with, reckon they have revived a year old, flat motorcycle battery.

The charger has some very sophisticated circuitry to pulse the battery into life and can desulphate the plates, supposedly.

They offered to try a Rotax one if I took it in to them.
