I put my SLK to sleep for the winter in December.
At the time I didn't disconnect the battery. So, when the cover came off on Thursday I was dismayed to find the battery discharged completly.
A voltmeter shows it as having a voltage of about 3v.
I do have a Noco battery tender and have tried unsuccessfully to revive the battery, leaving it connected for ~5 hours. The indicator does not rise above the 25% charge in that time. The tender does have a "repair" and "force" function on it, but I am now preparing myself for purchasing a new battery if using the repair function tomorrow does not get the thing back to life.
Currently it has a Yuasa battery installed, but I cannot for the life of me find the UK sizing to get a replacement. Any reference I've found on this forum seems to refer to a US sizing guide, which I cannot find the equivilent UK sizing.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
A pre-winter clean before it got covered.
