Yeah, get it charged up and see what the voltage is. If it still does not get above 12.5, it may be a dud.
I used a walmart battery before and it kinda sucked for longevity.
If the voltage comes up, see if it starts. If it does, hook up the meter again and rev to 3k rpm and check voltage.
It should hit about 13.5 at least to 14 volts. If it hits 14.5, I would check the gaps on the voltage regulator as 14.5 is a bit high.
If voltage does not go up, you have a charging issue.
The ride IS the adventure. The destination is just to get gas!
