Dirt + batt electrolyte can mean that it's trickle discharging across its own case, so it'll gradually go flat with the bike standing. This is only likely to be a serious problem if the battery really is filthy and covered in weird crusty chemical-looking stuff though.

    On that note - if you leave the battery standing somewhere, never leave it on concrete. Wood's OK. Lino's OK. Concrete is not, it'll kill a battery in a few weeks due to trickle discharge.

    Also - check electrolyte level, it should be marked on the battery side. If it's low, top up with distilled water - NOT tap water. You can get distilled out of a home dehumidifier, clean the mould and dust out of the catch tray first though.

    Slightly more pricey recommendation - get a cheap multimeter (Jaycar probably) and start tracking battery voltage at the terminals, it'll tell you (and us) a lot more about what's going on.
    Alright. Im a window cleaner so i have a filter that makes water into pure water will check levels and top up. Batts in good nick no crud at the top. Will get my hands on a multimeter and test charging. Rectifer(i cant spell dont judge me) has been replaced so i can rule that out.
