Answer
Hello John,

  What is happening, is the charging system is most probably not delivering any current to the battery. The voltage should read anywhere from 12.5 volts to 14.4. volts. If you were to take it to a Cat dealer, they could run the scanner on it and pin point the problem to a degree. Unfortunately, that tends to cost more than it should. Something to look for would be disconnected plugs and wires. Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any other questions. Good luck with the sled! --Arcticatman
