Charging Leisure Battery?
I have a 110 ah leisure battery. Can I choose the option to fast charge (on my charger) or do I have to choose slow charge?
Thanks

fast is easily ok but can reduce battery lifespan by breaking down electrode plates if done to often and long. slower charges are better for a longer lasting life of battery though it will make no difference to a batteries capacity to store energy.
use a trickle charger ideally or even a solar powered one to keep it topped up between uses . a battery left discharged can and does reduce its own capacity to store energy ( plates sulphate up) whereas a fully charged battery can last for over a decade if treated correctly.

If a battery is allowed to become fully discharged it will usually reach a state where resurrection is impossible, which is what I suspect has happened to yours. As already said, you should also be using a purpose-built charger.
