It's not been covered yet so I'll offer it. Are you sure the battery will hold the charge? Test by charging over night on a charger, then leave it till the next day and check the voltage. If it takes AND holds charge, then there is a fault probably in the wiring.
My H would charge like made but not hold one in the battery all week, but off the tractor it held just fine. Turned out the wire going to the gauge was leaking voltage due to cracked insulation on it. Very tiny crack at that, actually had to take it off tractor and bend it to see it. Used a multimeter to ohm out all the wiring and finally noticed a difference in readings on that one wire from one test to the next. Replaced wire, problem solved.
Was glad that my Dad is a retired electrician!
