[QUOTE="timetraveller, post: 139177, member: 456"] Ok Peter, no way I can argue with your experience but my own, and many other boaties, regularly leave things for ten to twelve months and find that the batteries are still almost fully charged. What about your cordless drills? I have several and they all (at least the ones worth keeping) have Lithium batteries. I can leave them on the shelf for months and they still work. Even have one of these things where the battery can be used on a variety of gadgets. Used one a few days ago that had stood for a few months and it powered up a strimmer straight away and ran for several tens of minutes. It might be worth trying to find our what the chemistry is in the Halford's batteries. It sounds like it is best avoided. I have a battery outboard motor on my dingy and the only instructions are to leave it fully charged if not going to use it for many months. It is now about five years old and still seems to work.
