would a battery that showed 0v be fubar'd??

or would it recharge or is it a new one time??

charge it for 24hrs test voltage.leave it stood for another 24hrs check voltage again.if voltage has dropped.then its fair to say its not holding a charge.and needs replacing.got to say though.i have never seen a battery that reads 0volts..

Would an optima gel battery be ok for using as a leisure battery? Would it withstand deep cycling? I have seen one that looks like a black box with a red top.

optimas yellow top gel battery is good for cranking and deep cycling

ah thanks rob but the only choice i have is the red top, should i steer clear?

i would..

tested the battery with the multi meter and i was surprised when it said 0v

managed to get it to 1.39v after putting in the new split charge system.

will stick it on charge and see whats what then

Saw those yellow tops, mega bucks! Could anyone give me a few different types of batteries to look out for?

Cheers!
