Farmer Rick is right. If you are getting the correct voltage after a full charger(12.6+\-) then you should put an amp clamp on your wires going from the charger to battery and check the amperage. Make sure that you check amperage when in a charging state; meaning the charger is giving a full charge (red lights), not maintaining( blinking green lights). This ensures that the charger is putting out max amps. If you do not have a multimeter with an amp clamp you can buy one at a home store for less than fifty Bucks. I leave on in my tools on my boat. You will have electrical issues and will be hard pressed to figure out what they are with out one.

Good luck. Andy. State certified sparky.
