Battery charger
Got a new battery charger I set it for agm at 10 amps and the battery percentage says 10 and it's been like that for over an hour. Any ideas?

10 Amps? From my experience with battery chargers, that is a really high charge rate. Normally I trickle charge a battery at <1 amp, charge at 2 amps, and fast charge at 6 amps.
Is your battery totally dead? If the battery charger is not getting any charge into the battery, I usually suspect a loose connection at the battery clips, or somewhere. Are you charging to the battery terminals directly, or from the connections under the hood? Do you see the charge rate change when you either connect or disconnect the negative terminal?

Yeah I went back and checked and I had the negative cable hooked to the strut tower didn't realize there was a negative bolt. The car is now on a 6 amp charge and is charging at 12.6? I'm under the hood
