Hi Colin
Have you tried a long slow recharge on your battery . I did mine with a
std 12v charger that puts out about 4a max. It started at 4a went down to
1-1.5a fairly quickly and then I left it on for 24hrs. This was a year ago
no battery problems since.

I thought my MX battery was buggered too, but i left it charging on a
simple 18V transformer, bridge rectifier at low amps for 2 weeks.
Believe it or not, it came back to life. Alarm systems are real killers
of these batteries, i disconnect the battery if i leave it for more than
a week.

Cheers, Rex
