Try charging the battery with one of the older battery chargers.
I have a newer digital, assume with some sort of computer chip, charger. If the battery is depleted to far, this battery charger will not work, but the older battery chargers will.

Re: Ammeter wired backwards
it works great with the new battery. Discharges with the lights turned on and the generator is charging. I was watching the ammeter as it started and it actually took a couple of seconds before it moved off zero. Thanks for everyones advice. Ill start working on the old battery this week to see if I can get it going in the right polarity.

Re: Ammeter wired backwards
New battery installed and it works great. Discharges when it should when lights are on and charges with the engine running so I got the polarization done right! I sure have learned a lot this week. Old battery is presently discharging through the 12V lights on my trailer.

Re: Ammeter wired backwards
Ran the battery with a load for about a week. It started charging ok, but didnt hold voltage for more than a day. Think it is damaged and some shorting between plates. I think it is toast.
