Hmm, you should be able to get that goop off without wrecking anything. That might be the thing you need to make this work. If you can get it to work, I would shoot for a voltage closer to 14v because the higher the voltage is, the less current (and losses) your charger will pull for a given load.

0.5A might be enough, I just personally like using a solid 1A. Only way to tell is to test it. Try it with just 0.5A load and see how the 12v behaves. Then try again with the 1A load. Then just use whichever you prefer.
