welcome to the forum

Just bear in mind that batteries do not always make it to their suggested life span and temperatures like these can pull them down fast. Mine is 3 years old and I must have charged the damned thing 20 times last month. As luck would have it, today I was trudging across to the van, lugging the battery when bloke in the garage next to me called me across. He had a brand new battery from an Audi he'd had to write off and only wanted £25 for it. Cripes, the starter motor didn't know what was coming when I turned the key. Big difference! Thats saved me a few quid.

Tenner for the old one as scrap - that makes £15 for a brand new battery - result!

I thought they didn't take batteries anymore? Didn't when I tried a few years ago (of course I say "a few years ago", it was probably 1983)

In 1983, wouldn't a car battery have cost a tenner
