Thank's to 180 for the heads up on a replacment battery,seems I will need one.
Since the last time, and even with extra running time my original Varta has given up the ghost,only two feeble cranks and then the tell tale click click click from the starter relay. I still am trying to charge up the Varta but after 3 days on 2 amp trickle ,and 6 hours on 12 amp charge I can only get 5 cells to fair on my hydrometer . Go figure one end cell is reading basically water but my multi meter showes voltage at 13 .6 volts
Cheers
