The previous owner replaced the battery with a dry cell battery + battery maintainer. A few weeks ago, I noticed the clock on the car starting to show weird times (as if the battery were unplugged), and then about a week ago, the battery was really low and the nsx would not start, and the guage lights were very dim.
Even though I have a battery tender connected to the battery, prior to this I didn't feel the need to plug it in as I was driving the car once a week or two....and despite the clock always showing the wrong time, I didn't have any other issues. But now the battery is completely dead.
I have the battery maintainer plugged in for a few days. It is a Guest .5 Amp maintainer similar to this one:

I've got two questions:
1) What type of battery is this? It kind of looks like a motorcyle battery of some kind? This was the closest thing I found on the internet ( http://www.thebatterycellonline.co.nz/webapps/p/87668/206016/513136 )
2) I've had the battery maintainer plugged in for a few days now, and no sign of any electrical power yet. Is my battery completely toast, or will it just take a long time to recharge at .5 amp?
Any help is welcome.
