yup gel type, mormaly go for the OE battery but last couple i have tried diff ones.
I fully charged it for 2 days on the optimate, and then let it stand for 24 hrs, voltage went from 13,6 fully charged to just over 11 in 24 hrs lol and thats standing in a warm kitchen not conected to anything.
so i think its to far gone even to be used as a back up battery.
new one now on charge ready to fit in the morning, will see how it lasts. but i doubt there will be the slightest problem till next xmas now, it seems to be the way
think im gunna find an old type acid battery of the right size and use that as a backup battery to keep indoors and swap to if needbe for next winter.
