Took the car out for a run, once I got it started, as due to weeks of no running the battery had gone flat. Ended up calling out the AA breakdown service as it died on me halfway thru the day. Battery test concluded it was 'stuffed'. Was able to get car started, so drove straight home and put my spare battery in from an 827 I wrecked. Battery cold cranks and size not as big as what came out (540 vs 600). But it will do in the interim till I get a new correct sized one (quoted around $250 NZD for a new Century 640CCA one).
