Silly me, thought Id make a record. . .Fail
Ill be getting a battery as mine faded during the tail light testing. Here is a photo of my battery after a day on the charger. Youll note that I am well below 12.6 resting voltage. Its kaput and I need to get one of the better units for the summer. It did last 8 years but has finally faded away. RIP.
Woody The resting voltage will tell you a lot - gotta be above 12.3 minimum.

Another spare from 2007 and recharged at the same time hit 12.5 V. It was too tall to fit the Crossfire and it came out of my old LHS.
Those Vartas are really good batteries, they are made by Johnson Controls.
