I'm thinking that 2 amps is not enough to charge the battery, and that I
should try it at 10 amps. But, I don't want to damage a brand new, never
used battery!

Ideas anyone?

One other thing. If the battery is low on charge (which it could very well
be if it is brand new but has been sitting around) the initial charge
should be at a lower, slower rate ... the 2 amp setting, not the 10 or 15
amp. There may not be enough activity going on in it to take the higher
charge rate.

Batteries are weird.

I changed it from deep cycle setting to the regular setting and that
worked. At a 15amp rate, it took about an hour for the flashing grreen to
become continuous, indicating a full charge.

Thanks to all for the tips/advice.
