They put a tender tail on it - plugged it in and for the past 10 hours it's remained red which is less than 80% and charging. 

 

Tested the load load and I get 13.9.

 

Shouldn't it have turned green - or at a minimum blinking red - above 80% charged?

 

Thinking they either didn't hook it up or something's wrong. 

 

It should be a direct battery hook up. 

 

If it's not green by morning - I'll disconnect and pull the battery.

Tested the load load and get 13.9; ?  13.9 battery volts, 13.9 charger volts, 13.9 amps charging current?  If it's 13.9v on the battery side of the connector with the charger disconnected then it's obviously connected and charging.  13.9 while charging doesn't mean much, other than the battery was low or the charger is very low power.

The thingy just acting as a voltmeter?  If so the battery was being charged and either it needed more time to reach a full charge or the charger is bad and not detecting the state of charge.
