Bit of an update.
I still can't get anything using the intelligent charger even though, now I've found the instructions, it should pulse charge an "empty" battery although it's a bit confusing whether this function actually works with a 6-volt battery connected.
I did measure the voltage across the battery but this is only about 2-volts which probably explains why the intelligent charger isn't working.
I have now also got a very old and battered looking basic charger with a 6-volt setting which I have connected but isn't showing much sign of charging so probably the battery is defective which is annoying as it's only a year old but then I probably haven't charged it regularly enough.
In the morning I'll have another look and if it's held any charge I'll try the intelligent charger again.
Years ago I did get some EDTA powder from a friend who worked in a lab and this certainly helped revive an old battery I had at the time so I may consider trying that if everything else fails.
