Thanks for all the feedback, here's the update.
Charger arrived yesterday, read the battery as ok and then topped it up to 12.6v, put it on the SR, fixed the brake lights, fitted a new relay for the indicators, and then tried to start the bike...
Turned over but not enthusiastically, checked the voltage, 12.17v, oh well, new battery needed after all!
One thing I did spot that I hadn't considered was that when buying the standard lead/acid battery, most places send them empty due to some law (which I can understand, but would have been a bit of a bugger), so I've got a shiny new Motobatt AGM battery on the way for less than the suggested L/A one!
