When I hooked it up to the Optimiser it showed it was half charged but within a couple of hours it was fully charged. Looks like I'm about to get onto battery No. 3 and I've only had the bike just over a year. Mind, she does live outside and the temp is dropping!

bloody hell! Ive managed 36k miles on one battery. and mine lives outside and uncovered and not had a hint of a problem with it. Then it was the battery which replaced the one I originally had as the faulty rectifier fried that one.
does the bike get used daily? if not that may have something to do with it. if the bikes not keeping charge its what emperor etc squid said, possibly faulty rectifier.
