from http://pedalpowergenerator.com Pedal Power experiment conducted on the Leeson M1120046 DC permanent Magnet Motor to find out how fast a person needs to pedal to get 12 to 15 Votls DC output needed to charge lead acid deep cycle batteries or powerpack. Experiment performed by Brad at pedalpowergenerator.com This DIY video shows you how to create a DC Voltage output curve of the Leeson Model M1120046 permanent magnet DC motor used as a bicycle generator. Data is collected on a test fixture with a 1 horse power variable speed drive motor that simulates a person pedaling a bicycle at different speeds. The speed is measured by a tachometer and DC volt meter and then put into Microsoft excel to create a generator voltage output curve vs. pedal speed Miles per hour M.P.H.

DC motors suck! get a car alternator, break it apart, and then re-wind it with some 22-24 gauge wire with the same 3 phase design. don't forget to install permanent magnets on the rotor to increase the efficiency. you can run the 3 phase lines a great distance to the battery station and using rectifier diodes to convert it to DC power.
alternators are dirt cheap, and much easier to find than DC motors. the benefits go on and on...
What's the model of your battery and whats the model # of your charge controller? I want to look at the specs. It sounds like your batteri is not able to take a charge. You need to do a load test on it and make sure it works correctly. Did you buy this battery new? or did you find it used from some place?
