Batteries a few years old, kept around as " known good" also go bad! It is worth the money to buy a load testing battery unit! Voltage does not correlate the cranking power/amps behind it!

I picked up a 600 cc bike, (SECA II) dirt cheep and was in showroom condition, because the "known good" 6 month old backup battery was ALSO BAD. And nobody thought to check that battery! I bought it, put my battery in it, fired right up.

I know it's not the answer you are looking for, but get a load tester, or get your batteries tested.
