Battery help please - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

With no battery connected, charger reads about 6.8V. With a fully charged battery attached its about 6.5V. When I connect the pump, it drops to about 6.2V. I don't know what it would read with a discharged battery connected, I'll check next time I have to charge it up.

The charger is reading 7.5V so the battery is toast. Like someone said,it's a 3 year old battery. Time to cut off the connector and buy an Amazon 6V 10amp/hr battery.

Thanks again for all your help!
