trying to charge a 100a/h SLA battery from a 80w solar panel via 20 amp regulator. Green light on regulator is on, indicating full charge but I'm getting a reading of 12.08 and it won't budge after 3 hrs charge. I've got a couple of voltmeters, both show the same reading. I'm getting a reading of 18.93 on the solar and 14.42 on the battery leads. I had the battery given to me, so maybe it could be buggered. I can run the fluoro light off the battery, so with about 50% charge I'm gettig something out of it but I just can't top up the charge.
