Been looking on the Internet but info. Is far too deep.

I checked the voltage drop which is 0.12v over 9 hours (12.62v to 12.5v), with a drain of 60ma.. So.. Do i need a new batery?

I'd just go and get it tested.

Most garages do free battery checks. The last one I had changed just failed with no warning - fine the day before, next morning, nothing!
