I think that David spotted the problem here..



A 14 volt charger charging a 12 volt battery.



Probably fried the battery.



Batteries are inexpensive. Get another one and try it with the proper
charger. [Of course, David will suggest that you buy 2 new batteries, a
12 and a 2 and use the existing charger. But that is a different
thread. :-) ]

Umm, the RR14650A from W&W is a 14 volt charger. You really
use that on a 12 volt battery? If so, you've probably
fried the battery from overcharging.
