When attaching a 12V + battery to a charger, which is hooked up to a generator, running with gas and a sparkplug, it drains the power from that battery.
This happens both when attaching via metal wire and attaching normally (without the wire).

Having the same issue. Just noticed it since our server is pretty hardcore so no one encountered it before.
The battery charger seems to drain batteries that are worn or in worse condition, while pristine batteries (both small and for trucks) seem to neither lose nor gain any charge at all. Hope it helps and this can be remedied easily. Probably just an inverse sign somewhere xD.

This issue still exists even though generators do not require gas anymore.

Battery charger light says 'standby'. Sat there for 20 minutes with my worn battery on the charger, no charge.
