Great info Frank.
Hey Paul,I have a fire extinguisher you can borrow if you like!:lol; 12V is dangerous stuff you know!

You say you got 13.2v,I'm guessing that was in its quiescent (no load) state?What was the voltage after you tried to start the bike?
Keep us posted.

On balance I think I'll wait for the new battery to arrive... The luck Ive had recently I can just imagine watching the electrics melt before my eyes Somehow I think Ducati would have an issue on any subsequent warranty claim - 'Umm tryed to start the bike off a car battery eh?'
Thanks again for the advice etc and I'll let you know what happens when I get the new battery.
