I had to replace the battery off my trailer which powers the Motormover. It's a Varta 110A/h and to be honest I have mistreated it rather badly. It gets intermittent use and even more intermittent charging. It goes months without being charged and is then put on an Optimate type charger which I bought from Lidl because there isn't enough life in it to move the trailer. I have even had to take it back to South Yorkshire Battery Supplies a couple of times (where i get my batteries from) and have it put on a deep cycle charge for a few days for a fiver. Voltage has been as low as 7.5V. Anyway, I took it down to SYBS on monday to see if it could be resuscitated and got a phone call yesterday to tell me it was a battery no more, it had died, ceased to exist, fell off its perch in true Monty Python fashion.
So I went down to purchase a new one and not keeping track of when I bought this one I enquired tongue in cheek if it was still under warranty? Varta batteries have a two year warranty and SYBS date mark all the batteries they sell. With a broad grin on his face the chap behind the counter told me that it didn't meet the criteria as it was nearly a teenager - it was 12 years ago that I bought it
