David,
Might I respectfully say 'Pillock'.
Many moons ago the Company I was working for had supplied some gear to another Company who we didn't normally deal with. The gear included a NiCad battery which was float charged from the supply. After a couple of Months they complained that all the Batteries were dead. At the time we were having some problems with supplies of Cells, so we sent new Batteries. After another couple of Months they complained again. It turned out that they ran the gear for a few days then turned the power off and went away for a couple of weeks to do some more design. Put simply that was not, and never was, what it was designed to do.
I would suggest that you are/were in a similar situation.
Alan
