Topped it up and put it on charge & left it bubbling away at 14.9 volts

Apart from the times iv`e not been able to start it when its hot the bat was turning it over like a good un...
So is it going to be new battery time???

I think a visit to a battery shop for testing is the best thing..they will test your battery and tell you whats needed...... :lol:

to test if its holding a charge do the following....
top it up.
charge it for 24hrs.
test voltage.
leave it stood for another 24hrs.
test voltage again.
if its the same as the first time.its ok.if the voltage has dropped its time to replace...
