I've got this battery that doesn't hold a charge. Sort of. What it
does is not produce starting current, but only if it's been sitting.
It's got 13 something volts, hit the starter and the starter doesn't
spin. I'm not sufficently super human to be able to report what the
voltage is when the starter isn't. If I start it with the handy-dandy
hand crank, it will then start with the starter. This is true even if
the engine hasn't run enough to possibly recharge the battery. If it
sits for an hour or three, it'll still start. Overnight, it won't. I'm
quite certain I'm not draining the battery -- it happens even if the
battery is disconnected. Clearly, the battery is junk. (I knew that;
it does warn "Made in England") Is there anything worth trying to fix
it?
