Generator Battery Not Charging

[Jeff August]

Mr Miller
We bought a new battery after bringing it home from Holland on March
18th, they put a used one in and it was junk.(It was free though,
wanted new one but Al said this one was good) We have tested it with
the generator running and shut down,12.24 volts is the highest it
read any time, tested it several times since bringing it home.The
number stays the same each time when you shut it down, dosn't rise or
drop when stoped. Maybe this is normal?
Thanks Jeff
