[quote Jackalope]So it's been two weeks, and I checked the battery and it show's 12.53V.
PON: Not good, should be 12.8V or more.
So I'm thinking everything will be ok yes/no maybe??
PON: No, you have lost some permanent capacity, probably because of a reversed cell, since you went to 6V. A reversed cell consumes energy and does not contribute its share to the voltage. So, when you connect a load the voltage will drop, possibly rapidly, so your device may not work after 30 minutes or so.
I'll make sure to always top it off before going out, and again when I get back.
PON: That would help with a good battery, may make just a small difference with a bad one.

Hope above comments help.
