Aye, funny things batteries.The old may well be reading 13.1, but after just one start, thats likely to go down to the low 12s. I recently replaced the battery on the motor car (in winter) because it sounded slower in turning over the motor. I charged it a couple of times and it read healthy on the voltmeter, but left overnight, the voltage slipped slowly downwards. From 13.4 at bedtime, down to 12.5 in the morning. I took it to County Batteries for drop testing, and it confirmed past its best. Drop testing is the sure way of testing battery condition. The fact we can't refill now is due to the crackpots that chuck battery acid in peoples faces
