I have a somewhat newer charger. When charging a relatively drained 12V it is nothing to charge about 10 AMPES. When I switch it over to a relatively drained 6V it only shows about 6 to 8 AMPES. My allegator clamps or whatever you call them on charger are kind of rusty. Sometimes I hook charger up, it shows a charge, leave and come back and it shows no charge. I wiggle the clamps and it sparks a little and starts charging again. You must maintain a good connection throughout to have a constant charge. This means you could have a bad connection inside the battery charger as well as wire to allegator clampes or clampes to or battery terminals. Just because sparks fly when rubbing battery charger terminals together doesn't nescisarily mean you will maintain a connection when you hook it up to the battery. But then of coarse there is the fact that the battery is completely charged but even so the battery charger AMPE needle should just be off of Zero even if it is just on one. But if it was fully charged, you wouldn't be trying to charge it right?
