Remove the generator from the generator bracket and position the generator above the drive axle.

Chargers will out last batteries by a long time.You will need to get a new battery. Black & Decker is a cheap household brand and does not hold up for long periods of time. I have better brands and buy several new batteries every year.
Some Coleman generators have rectifier /diode pack behind panel others have a diode inside generator cover however when diode fails it usually fries the winding. Your winding could be within the generator or under flywheel depending on model#. If your generator had a fuse to protect winding then test diode and replace as necessary. You may also just plug a small battery charger (1 or 2 amp ) into 115v plug to charge battery / power coil. Good luck and email if you have other questions.
