Couple of weeks ago went to start the 'Ro and it was dead.

It has been on the conditioner purchased from monkfish so thought it might not have been connected properly.

Put the battery on charge over night and next day was fine so tested the voltage from the conditioner and that seemed fine too.

All connected up to find this week when I go to start it, nothing, no power whatsoever.

So, is it a faulty battery or conditioner?

TIA

How olds the battery. Mine died on the conditioner and it was 4yrs old. Once you start having concerns and the batteries over 2 or 3 yrs old it's wise to swap it out.

So even on the conditioner they can die?

Well I've had the car 6 with the same battery.

6 years... Buy a battery!

Conditioner stops them dying earlier if you leave them for long periods unused that's all.

Got mine from Eurocarparts at a very good price...
Buy on line though as you get a better price, you can still pop in and collect though.
