After use today went out and vehicle only cranked over about 1/2 turn and solenoid could be heard clicking. Checked battery terminals. Were tight. Measured battery voltage 12.5 volts. Disconnected, cleaned and re-installed battey terminals. Only got partial crank and again died. Original battery puchased vehicle new July 2005. Battery is a maintenance style. Acid level was a bit down. Just finished placing on charger. Drawing 4 AMPS right now. Puzzled why it is was reading 12.5 volts but can't deliver any power. Any suggestions? Can a shop tell me more?
