Mend Rover Start Charge Battery

why wont my rover 214 start?

I have a Rover 214 M reg and most mornings it wont start.
I charge the battery up ( takes only 5 minutes or so for a full charge ) and it will start. sometimes i have to repeat the charge process but eventually it will start. It wont start using jump leads but will start after a short push. Any help would be appreciated.

First of all there is no car battery on earth that will charge in five minutes. Your battery has had it. You need to buy a new one. I have assumed that your alternator is charging because you don't mention the red light. If you carry on doing what you are doing however you stand a chance of wrecking your alternator as well.
