My little indicator said charge battery, it said that for about two weeks before I had a chance to return it. if I was driving the car to the shops etc it would start again, but parked overnight would be flat in the morning.
It always said charge battery.
When I saw the Supercheap Battery genius this morning he said they charged the battery overnight on their charger, the indicator still said to charge, the voltage test passed but the CCA test failed badly.
In saying that I am only reporting what I was told, personally I do not know too much about batteries other than general knowledge and what you are told.
I never looked at the print out as he taped it to the old battery and handed me a new one he had waiting for me on the counter when I got there.
