    It is the terminal on the car cable. wrapping solder around it is a good idea, gentle lick with a blow torch. Thanks for the idea.

    The 'old' battery is up to 80% charge! Looks like the car will have 2 aux batts

    Hmm, charged up to 100%, down to 95% a couple of hours later. I'll charge over night and observe.

    The charger could be in float, so might have dropped a bit. If you can load test battery would be good.
    They can show good volts but be no good.

    I charged it over night. 4 hours later battery at 77%
    What does charger in float mean?

    So once charger has charged battery to 100% it basically stops charging or drops it’s charging right down to a trickle or float then when battery drops down to a predetermined voltage charger will kick back in.

    Then yes it was on float. Battery is at 73% today. After charging up over Sunday-Monday night I'd expect the voltage to stay higher for longer. The indicator window is mainly black, i.e. charge, with just a very faint smidge of green. I thibk 6 years plus is good for a battery, now it can go and help make more batteries.

    I thought, am sure, the window has to be all green.
    Black is buggered!

    On this battery, green is good, black means charge and white means buggered. In any case it is at Autobarn to be recycled.
