A few weeks back my safari was doing the same thing, getting slower cranking then one day it wouldn't even start. Spent a while cleaning some corrosion out of the battery terminal contacts then coated them in vaseline. Started up no worries after that.

which battery was buggered??

best practise would be to replace both as although the other one may test well it will very quickly damage the new battery and severly shorten the life of both batterys.

the left hand side bat was stuffed

I got away with replacing just one

quote of the day "I got away"
in any multiple connected battery setup any cell that has less capacity than the other will cause the other cell to over compensate
