An open thank you

So for the last 6 months, I've been driving the car once every week if lucky, usually every second week. Back in May I thought the battery was definitely cactus - but it held up after a couple of sessions on the trickle charger for a day or so.
Last weekend, it was sounding bad again on start up - 8+ cranks to turn over, but started yesterday morning, and then again to come home last night, but I stopped on the way home and it decided it had had enough.
Got a jump start to get me home (and it was fine to move the car this morning, and then again this evening - grr!), but as I was sitting there waiting for the donor car to arrive, I managed to get on here, find a reference to the SS43M (which Mania sell, but can't send interstate) - thanks to a post from Dweezle back in 2011, then a post from Lokiel stating he had one as well as well as a couple of others (I had the wrong battery in my sights 6 months ago!), then go and find one online, order it and it should be here by Monday.
All done from the mobile in the carpark!
You guys rock, thank you.
