Friday night I got home from Wolf and plugged it in, then waited about 3 hours to see if it was charging. Sho nuff, the blades was a spinnin much faster so I knew it was working. Well, I decided to check the cranking battery and after what happened I KNOW it's getting juice to. I didn't unplug it just yet when I put the clamps from my portable on it and I FELT the Lectricity coming through it. Wasn't a heck of alot but I did feel it. I then unplugged it and hooked up the crank to the portable to check the charge and it was almost all the way charged. I'm good to go for now
