When in the YUK last week I went to Dave Wood's shop and asked him for a gel type battery for the bike ( as I had been advised here ). Gave him the 49 quids and he said some stuff about charging the battery after filling it. This confused me a tad as I figured one wouldn't have to 'fill' a gel battery. Anyway, got home and read the bit of paper in the box and it's a bog standard lead-acid battery. Every racer I've known (with the exception of that johnny-come-lately Champ) has been a bullshitter.
