How long does it last with a 1 hour charge..... 35 minutes? :-) Sorry, I couldn't resist. At any rate, your battery has a major calamity. BTW a full charge takes about 8 hours. You could get a hydrometer and check the specific gravity of the acid in each cell to get an idea of how charged it is and if any cells have failed. Sounds like it does have at least one bad cell and you really shouldn't continue using it like that.

Fact of the week
Foundling hatches are safe, anonymous drop-off points for unwanted infants, allowing parents in crisis a way to surrender a baby safely without fear of punishment, ensuring the child is rescued and cared for. The concept started in the 12th century, was abandoned in the late 19th century, then reintroduced in 1952. It has since been adopted in many countries.
