UPDATE
LB still on charge,being an unsealed battery is the acid supposed to bubble whilst charging

Have contacted Willinton and a new relay is been sent out tomorrow so fingers crossed this will fix the problem.

Just like to say thanks for all advice and a big thank you to Willinton for another first class service.

Possibly but only a little bit, that's Oxygen and Hydrogen in them bubbles and a naked flame could cause a BANG, keep it well ventilated.

Update.
LB now charged from a battery charger

checked output with engine off I'm getting 12.3v and with the engine running the same 12.3v is this right or should I see a slight increase

SB with engine off 12.56v and with the engine running 14.46v. Like I said in a previous post Martin is sending me a new relay to change

Fingers crossed problem should be sorted

You should see an increase in the voltage with the engine running, it does sound like the relay is not charging the LB.
