Ooooh another thought, whats the rate on "slow" charge on your charger? On mine
its 2a. Group 49 batteries at 900-1100cca but that doesn't tell us the long
term capacity. I'm gonna guess, based on size its around 100ah so with your
charger assuming you only run down to 75% thats still 12.5 hours to recharge.
Could be on slow charge you're not getting enough time to get a full charge in.

OK, I think this is a critical point then. It can only crank for 15
seconds before slowing down significantly. Defective battery? (It's
brand new, NAPA's mid-priced line.) Defective charger? (I'll try one
of my Battery Tenders instead of the Schumacher.) What else?
