Any help out there would be appreciated, got a 800GS I hardly use, maybe once a week. Got back from a two week holiday and it is dead, click click on the starter and the initialization doesn't come on.

Couple of questions, what is the lifespan of these batteries? Considering i only do short trips and one long one each year.
Do they come out as normal or gel type?
Lastly....
What does broken cell mean? This is the message that comes up on my trickle charger when I tried to revive it, it is due for its annual service tomorrow and though I'd might as well start it up and then there you go, just as well I did.

Hopefully Bavarian Pretoria will come and pick it up for me :)
