Regarding the hydrogen gas possibility,whilst dealing with the battery. As I've stated,I'm in ill health(lung disease) so I've not gotta great deal of puff to try blow any gasses away. But,with my car being outdoors on my drive,would it be sufficient,to open boot,lift back the boot carpet lid to expose battery,and leave it to kinda air for a little while,before starting to attach charger cables?
On a more practical note, you could wave a newspaper back and forth a few times to disperse any hydrogen. I'm not sure just letting the trunk air out by itself would be sufficient.
Also,i was thinking of maybe purchasing a battery tester. Just a kinda beginners/DIY'ERS one. To use in conjunction with the charger I've already got. So that i can test the battery first,to see where it's at,and give me a rough idea of how long I'll need to put it on trickle charger. I would appreciate your thoughts on that idea please.

Ha ha ha,love it 😁 newspaper quality idea,I'll do that. Thanks for the reassurance that my charger will be ok. Yet another thing I've learnt now,about chargers👍And I'll definitely be buying 1 of those testers. And more great advice,on what to do before testing,as in putting the lights on. I'm learning lots on this subject about batteries that i wasn't expecting to. How the smallest of things can steer you wrong. Much appreciated. And yes,my battery is EB950. I didn't realise I'd drew over part of that code. But chuffed with myself that I'd worked out what the CCA meant.
Thankyou for today's lesson😉it's greatly appreciated as always👍 Hope you have an enjoyable weekend

Hi,further to the above. I got myself a battery tester,and have tried it on a spare old battery after charging it,basically just to get used to using it. And it's pretty much self explanatory on the screen when using it really. I've just 1 question,that i want to be 100% on. Am i right,in thinking my battery is classed as a REGULAR FLOODED battery? Thanks in advance for your advice

It says "Technology: Flooded". So yes, that would be the same as regular flooded.
