Hello, I got out my battery tester my dad left me, (he was a car guy), I am a botanist and natural healer, never looked at it, used it but today I tested my 914 battery and it read less than 12 volts, about 11.8 or 11.9. Car would not start. I put it on 20 cca and it read 400 out of 520 I had it set for. On battery test it was in the red replace, not real far down but significant. The date on the battery said 10/13, I guess it is 6 years old. I will bring it to wal mart and have them test it also and buy a new one, do you all agree it is bad with those test results?
