Just a further update on the battery situation. When I first set it up, I would charge the battery a hour or so after I get home. The next day the battery voltage would already drop down to 12.4V. It stayed solidly at 12.4, but would just not hold a higher charge. So, about a week or so later I put an ebay special desulfator on it. It has been a month now, but the battery voltage is now staying around 12.7V. Previously, when I got home, my charger said my battery was down to 70% charge. Today when I put it on the charger, it said my battery was only down to 90%. So, the desulfator appears to be working.
