    A battery in good condition should hold 10v across the battery terminals, provided no other probs like starter motor or other electrics. Check battery terminals for corrosion and tightness. If you dont possess a multimeter, then get someone to crank engine and you feel the battery terminals. If hot - hi resistance present between terminal and post or lead into terminal and will require cleaning/tightening/replacing. Suss this out and get back to us if problem persists. Regards Col.
