I'm playing around with my TD right now and part of that is installing the new battery I bought for it.
In the instructions for the new battery is says "Prolonged charging or use of a constant current charger could shorten battery life." FWIW.

I've used mine for over 18 months now and it's worked fine. I thing Allie said you should get at least 5 years out of it...so far, so good.

OP: 11.8v is pretty low, it's possible your deltran is refusing to charge a battery so low. That or it could actually be broken. Probably try it on a charged battery that has been sitting for a bit and see if the voltage goes up any when hooked to your deltran.
