Any Solicitors / Trading standards here?

Ok folks, let me run this one by you.

On 18/12/2013 I purchased a Yuasa battery for my 90.

It does not seem to hold a charge for much longer than 24/36 hours or at least enough too start the car, 2 days and it needs to be jump started.

The battery has actually been weak for some time, but I had misplaced, or rather forgotten the safe place I put the receipt until today.

I was told the battery had a 2 year guarantee at the time of purchase.

I went into the motorfactors I purchased it from this afternoon, the guy came out with a tester provided by the battery manufacturer no less and it said the battery was good.

They are refusing to change it, if I want them to test the battery overnight I have to purchase another one in the mean time??
The battery is apparently rated at 500sae and when tested read 612sae.

My argument that of course the battery was fully charged now, that it took 15mins to get there, 10 of those minutes on the motorway at the posted speed limit (honest) did not seem to matter.

Opinions?

Where do I stand here?

TIA

Dan
