Does anyone know if it can be brought back to life or where a cheap long lasting replacment can be found?

You could try a smart charger such as this one which may revive it:

Or you can get a new 85Ah leisure battery of ebay for about £55


Car batteries are designed for a high current such as starting a car and are then kept charged by the alternator. A leisure battery will run and run down to a really low capacity (deep discharge) without any large amount of damage to the battery itself. Both will do the job but a car battery won't last quite as long. If you only paid a tenner for it and keep it charged it may last a while.
