As a battery charge's,current normally drops until 50% at full charge for non-automatic chargers or close to 0 for automatic (smart) chargers. Leave lights on until multimeter reads 12v then connect charger and watch the current flow.All three places performed a load test. I kept changing to a different place as I was convinced that the battery had to be the issue back in June. Tractor charging system is fine. The battery had never since the June event dropped below 12.4 volts even after trying to get the tractor to start.
I did a parasitic drain test back in June and also yesterday and there is no drain on the battery with the key off. ,
Yes I cleaned the frame ground with emory paper and all positive and negative cable connections.
The question no one has addressed yet is the question as to what might cause all three battery chargers to show no current charging the battery. Hard to believe all three of my chargers have failed in their indication capability on current flowing into the battery. I actually tested all three on a car installed battery and they showed current flow so they are not broke. On this battery there is no current flow into the battery from any of the three chargers.
Battery I just don't know why it appears not to have current going into it from the charger.
