But if you peel back the sticker you will see the screw on caps.

Out of interest how long are you guys seeing from a battery? Mine is poss suspect as it sometimes takes two goes for it to start cold...

I'm thinking of getting a really good quality replacement rather than a charger.

Any recomendations?
