Believe it or not the new 6 V battery I bought and installed on August 4 went bad. It was working great one day and then the next day it was totally dead. Even after 24 hours on the new battery charger it was still dead. Took it back today & the salesman put a couple of volt meters on it & both showed 6.38 volts and the salesman said the battery was good. He checked voltage on a new one and it read the same. He asked me what I wanted to do so I told him regardless of what the meter said, I wanted a new battery. He was very polite and gave me a new one. I installed it and tightened everything up real good then hit the stomp starter and the old 216 roared to life. Just goes to show you that even a brand new battery can be defective and go bad.
