So....after the car being laid up for over a year with only a couple of start ups, the battery has decided it doesn't have enough juice to start her now.
I put it on quick charge earlier but it doesn't seem to have made any difference.
It's now on an overnight long charge, but i'm not holding out much hope.
It's a Varta battery with a power indicator-
Green for full battery
Dark Slate for needs charging
And Transparent for totally dead.
Trouble is it's very hard to tell if it's transparent or dark slate!
Is this the right type if i need to buy a new one?

Seems like an upgrade for a good price delivered, or would motor factors be just as cheap?
These bosch ones seem to vary in price wildly to over £100 online.
I have no idea how old the current varta battery is, so could well be the end of it's days :cry:
