I am VERY pedantic about not leaving a battery undercharged.
Been known to put a battery on charge at 2 am after a drive home:D

Yeah my battery failed the load test the other day when i did my service it was showing 389cca remainig from a 850cca battery. Have a new one on order but hasnt made it in time as it failed this morning. My symtom was cranked for 2 seconds then stopped.
Funny thing was i got to work this morning and there where 3 cars in the shop that had flat batterys. We also had 3 cars booked in which also failed the cca test and needed batterys.
Im going with a NRMA barttery due to there 3 year warranty which is renewed if it fails during the 3 year period. etc etc.
Cheers
