Pictures are worth a thousand words... so please post some of your soldered connections.

As stated, despite what is written on the charger, what you have is NOT a smart charger.

This is a smart charger



You need to get a simple multimeter ($30 at canadian tire), it's a must have for any electrical work. Also, next time you need to find out positive and negative wire... look at the connector. Even if the charger wires don't tell you which is positive the battery wires typically do. Plug the two together and bam! you know which is the positive wire on the charger.... Then may I suggest that you only do 1 wire at a time? This removes all possibility of shorting wires. Cut positive wire, strip wire, solder, put on shrink tube then cut black wire, strip, solder, shrink tube.

In the end, I'd suggest you try charging for a longer period of time, sometimes the first charge needs to be quite long.
