Whoever put battery in did not peel off the date stickers but I think it was replaced last summer when I had it serviced. Still looking for the receipt that showed what was done. Tomorrow I’ll try a 2 amp trickle charge on with setting on standard and see what happens.

One thing you can try is a meter on the battery while the charger is on just to make sure the charger is working. I wasn’t sure if you used the same charger that your dad used for the other battery. I had a charger once that would show the charge was complete but it wasn’t working at all. You should see 13+ volts on your meter if the charger is putting out.
