On return, the maintaining light flashed for an hour then went solid (it would normally go through this stage in a couple of minutes) and optimiser declared battery was "strong".
Still ok yesterday but today flashing again (we had a colder night).
I've just ordered a new battery.

My battery seems ok now ,but 6 years and 32,000 miles is a decent life for your battery. I wouldn't complain about fitting a new battery after that amount of
use .
