Out of interest, which comments have resulted in this change of mind?

I plan to fully charge it from this afternoon for about two days then I will repeat the check on the cranking voltage and if it still gives me the same readings as before then I will replace it. After ruuning the engine yesterday for about 45 minutes (driving and keep it running while I waited for the missus to do a bit of shopping) came to start it this morning and I needed to put the charger on again but only for a few minutes to get the car started. I am going on what you said regarding the cranking voltage being below 10.5 volts. Cheers, Dave
