I have just received a Pulsar 9000 watt generator from my nephew. He said, the guy he got it from hadn't used it in like two years. It will start and run on one or two pulls of the starter chord but it won't start from the battery.
I ran it for about 20 minutes the other day hoping it would charge up its battery. I tested the battery and it reads only 6 volts. It is a 12 volt sealed battery.
This is on the battery. "12V 14Ah 10 hour 6-Fm-14"
I have no idea what all that means. I'm trying to figure out what trickle charge I should buy for it. I see that Noco's chargers are mostly listed by amps. Plenty of them on Amazon. Can anyone tell me what I should be buying?
I was thinking about taking it to an auto parts house and have them test it to see if it's any good but, don't they need to have it charged up first to test it? The thing is, I don't want to buy a trickle charger right now if the battery is no good anyway. I rather just buy a new battery.
Any help on this would be appreciated.
