Many thanks Bob. My charger from Napa does not seem to bring the charge
up beyond 12.5v even when the charger has been on the battery for 5
days.

You need to track and plot the voltage during the
recharge cycle on a battery you know has been discharged
to some substantial degree.
One expects the voltage to be sustained at about 13.0 volts
after a recharge cycle has terminated. See:

and

What you may be seeing after 5 days is the charger's
normal drop to a sustaining level after the battery
has been topped off.
What brand of charger is it?
