Lack of use has taken its toll on my puny stock battery (48Ah Panasonic). It wouldn't crank the engine the other day so I charged it up and it started fine. However, a voltage check shows it to be just over 12V so it's knackered and there's no fully restoring it. I can't trust it for when I really need it. I'm ordering a Yuasa 3000 60Ah replacement.

I found that you just have to keep persevering lubricate by squirting wd40 into lock by letting it dribble down from the key and then keep on wiggling key fractionally clockwise and anti-clockwise it may take 15 or twenty minutes and you think you are getting nowhere but then it suddenly releases. It’s very odd but do not stop keep on trying as described and am sure it will unlock then charge car. i have a ctek 5.0 trickle charger along with attached cable available as accessory that Is permanently connect to battery and the end is sat outside bonnet next to glass and then no need to get into car if battery fails let us know how you get on

Thanks for the reply Nice numbers, I will probably end up going turbo at some point myself. Ye same battery I’ve run up to this point, same location etc, I wasn’t keeping an eye on revs to closely at the start as we troubleshot a few things but tuners log said they dropped periodically, I’ll juice up the battery and try again just interested to know if maybe my CCA is low for a 12:1 built motor.
