Thanks to Paul Mort .... as he provided by far the best response to my original HELP !!!! thread - LOL.
I'm still stuck with my gel battery.....but it does hold a charge beautifully - shame its still in the box
ANYWAY......here is a link to the manufacturer website for the peeps who made the Gel battery I have - there is all sorts of info there....

ps - Interestingly my oxford oximiser that really does work wonders on my Lead Acid battery specifically states it DOES NOT work with Gel batteries !!!
