Thank you ya'll for your responses.

I'm not an electrician, 1st where is the converter or inverter? & 2nd how do I check to see if it's working properly?

I filled the battery with distilled water just enough to cover the coils. Did I put too much water in?

yes, my next battery will be an AGM. I still need to get this heavy thing back in the battery compartment--I need a young "buffalo" with a strong back.
