Have a good long read of this .... at least twice .. then follow Kevin's instructions.. :)

Also, check terminals for any sign of heating as that could be a loose connection / corrosion which will stop any power getting to the battery even if the voltage is correct... remember voltage = "electrical pressure" .. not "flow" which is current .. :) .. you can have high pressure with no flow .. think thumb over the end of a hose pipe .. :)
