Ok Steve now I've confused myself.
After sending the question to you I looked up a Jaycar catalogue
to see what it said about the battery and charger.

First thing I notice about the battery it said to never leave the battery in a discharged state
for more than a few months.
Now I know that the battery was in a fully charged state when I stored it but that was something like
2 years ago. I guess the battery would somehow discharge itself over that time?.

Next thing I notice was about the charger I'm using.
Catalogue says that this charger is fully automatic in as much as it will switch to
trickle charge when the battery is charged, and the led will flash when the unit is operating in a
trickle charge state.
The led has been flashing ever since I started it, so on that basis the battery is still fully charged
even after all this time.

Does this seem reasonable to you?
