I found an old 12v battery sealed lead acid battery out in the shed, 5aH think it was used for a electric wheel chair or something like that, but my dmm reads 12.8 volts on it, yet when i hook it up to various things using my inverter it dies pretty quickly, in less than 10 minutes easily. I have a cheap little walmart charger that I have been charging it with (forgot to mention that yes, I filled the cells with water before charging) is this batteer scrap or is my cheap walmart charger not the right thing for the job?
