My second car's battery reads 12.47 v and is also reliable.
Following charging for 24 hours, you'll have to return it to service to find out if it can deliver starter motor current reliably. Is that practical or do you rely on the car every day for work?

Leaving it off for a few days is no problem Simon but after reading comments here I think I'll purchase a new battery, eurocarparts have a Bosch with better specs than the Varta I have currently for about £123.oo so I'll opt for that. Cheers, Dave
