Nice work.

Thanks Keith for popping over. Left the battery on charge all night and despite an indicated volatge of 13.2 still no joy! Still we shall wait and see what happens when the new one arrives - as you say thank gawd for warranties

I was tempted to try off a car battery got a spare one in my garage but worried I might blow my electrics completely - presumably you can do it Frank? If so what and how do I need do/avoid?
