I suspect that you are correct and it depends on the battery composition. I also have a Yuasa battery but I think it's a calcium one, seems to weigh a tonne but it does the job....although the last time I got back from a two Month trip and my ZTT diesel had just been left standing for most of that time the battery was flat so this time whilst I'm away I have plugged in a solar panel trickle charger and hopefully it'll keep it topped up until I get back.

DONE: HAD A CRAZY IDEA THAT I HAD TO GET RID OF MY MG ZTT DUE TO NOT HAVING A DRIVE AND HAVING TO PARK ON A BUSY STREET WITH A VIEW TO GETTING ANOTHER ONE AT A LATER DATE WHEN I HAVE A DRIVE.
ENDED UP REALISING IT REALLY ISN'T PRACTICAL NOT HAVING A CAR TO GET AROUND AND I NOW OWN A VW EOS 3.2 V6 INDIVIDUAL (1 OF 20 REMAINING IN THE UK WITH THAT ENGINE AND TRIM COMBO) EVEN THOUGH I STILL LIVE ON A BUSY ROAD WITHOUT A DRIVE
