Thanks for this useful information Vinnie. It sounds to me as if your battery's capacity has been severely reduced as
Colvert has just described. This has probably resulted from infrequent short journeys (40 km is not really adequate to recharge a depleted battery).
When your battery is unable to turn the starter motor it should take 24 hours or more before your smart charger tells you that it's recharged. If this happens sooner, the battery may be beyond saving.
I think the long term solution to your problems Vinnie is to use your charger more frequently.
