Cheers Furry-TLR, I will check these things, it is a new'ish batt like I said, I got it last year along with the Reg/Rec (known issues with these and VFR's) so I would thought I dont need a new one yet, as I also run it all the time it is not one that sits in the garage for ages over the winter.
But I will check each one of these and let you know.
Now all I need to do is get myself a multi meter to do the testing.
