I'd seriously like to know who this SD idiot is, never seen so much rubbish written by one person.

I wish there was a way of finding out who he is, he's a danger to himself and any one who reads his totally uninformed rubbish.

There WILL be an accident one day.

.. and if you'll believe that, you'll believe in pink elephants and flying pigs. Just ignore him.

Easy answer, if 5yrs or older the battery should be replaced, no question.

If you want to spend an alarm and a leg to test it correctly, try an Act! Meters GOLD-PLUS
Intelligent Battery Tester

Test meter across battery terminals, should read higher than battery voltage, if you then turn power off, voltage should drop slightly, to battery voltage. if it does it is charging, If the alarm goes off, battery fault
