I think because I used the "Boost" setting whilst charging it seems to have done the fix overnight, not sure how long it will take on "normal" setting though I must add that there is no worry of "over-charging" the battery because the car-battery charger normally enters the automatic float-charge mode (ie trickle charge) when the battery gets near full charge
That's how mine worked so best give it at least a try rather than junk the lot first without trying!

Thanks Bill,
I thought you meant clip to clip but I wanted to make sure, I'll grab myself a battery charger and see what happens, i need a charger anyway. i will post the results once I know and they can be archived for anyone else who makes the same mistake.
