No point guessing. Charge the battery and load test it.

So you have no access to anyone with a proper load tester, nor intelligent battery charger?

“Earth” is a somewhat unhelpful address for someone requesting assistance that may include location-based suggestions in its best form.

Battery was on charge over night. The charger didn't detect any faults. Load testing I got no idea how to do. . . Yeah earth points could be any one of the 5 billion possible locations.
( just trying to say there's a lot of them)
I put the battery back in the car before and started it, not a problem but it barely got warm

I may be way off here...but...I think Citroenbender was referring to what part of Earth you're located in and not the different earth points on the car...
