Charles you have a shorted cell within the battery. It is a fatal error. The battery must be replaced. Shorting of cells occurs when the battery is allowed to remain in a discharged state, particularly in freezing weather.

I think I used it once for about three hours a couple of field days ago. Now at 14.2 volts over a couple days' charge I can't get above 11.6 volts.
