How did it come to have no electrolyte in it? Was it just poured out? If so, then you would need to refill with sulphuric acid, not distilled water. TBH, it really isn't worth it. A new battery with a 3 year guarantee will cost you ~£40. > 2. in the UK - cna anyone recommend great battery charger ? Pretty much all modern battery chargers do the same job.
