Personal experience story. I was getting the less than peppy cranking and had my battery checked at Auto Zone or Oreilly, I don't remember specifically and it passed. When I tried Ripsaw's in bike test, the batt dropped to around 7.5 volts during cranking. That made it easy to decide, battery was gone even though it passed the "professional" load test. Yes, it was topped off by a charger/maintainer before I tried the in bike test.

hook to a meter ----
just the battery should be 12 volt or a little more
when running it should jump above 13 volt when u rev it up
if not then u have another charging problem
then test when u start it up - watch the meter,
hit the starter if it drops below 9.5, its time for new one
it sounds like u need new one
