Sounds like a good place to start, is it easy enough to access the starter motor?

Thanks IanMetro.
Let's see what the next 30 mins of testing the battery brings.
I'm not optimistic, last battery was replaced under warranty I can't imagine they'll agree to do it again without ... |

That's 24hrs on the charger. Not a flicker.
Could it be draining as fast as it's charging?

Yeah I think you're right.

Both very good suggestions, thanks.
