Default Optima Yellow top Battery: PLEASE HELP!

Right..

I orded a Yellow top battery, which I received today and installed it but, tried to start the engine and had to keep the key in the starting position for quite a while until it got up and running.
Took it for a 5-10 min journey, when I tried to start it up again, the same thing happened. I've tried to start it again just now, and it still does the same thing.

Just wanted to know, should I have charged it up first, using a battery charger, or should it have started the car even without charging? Seeing as it is a top spec battery and brand new, why does it not start the car straight away?

Cheers,

-Schuey

I'm gonna try and charge and see what happens. If it doesn't work then I'll send it back.

Cheers Sam.

Took the car on the M1 for a while yesterday and it seems to have solved the problem.
