I'd go with a flat battery mate, when was the last time it was started? Was it taken for a drive or just left idling when it was last run?

Awesome battery! Cheaper then ECP but I think the ebay seller might be EPC as the packaging was all stickered up as ECP.

When looking for a new battery look at the CCA (cold cranking amps) the higher the better.

I always use get Bosch but seen the above and they seem to be really good, 4 year warranty as well.

With that battery I was surprised how much quicker the engine spins over when cranking.

I think I've bigged up the battery too much lol

But trust me on the Exide Premium I linked to on my other post. For the price you can't go wrong.
