To test it under load you might have to poke through the insulation on the wires a tad with the prongs on your volt meter. A few wraps of electrical tape and no worries. Or could solder and shrink tube if its a big hole and youre worried. 6.2 isnt that bad. Like rossman said though to be more accurate you should place it under load. Ive heard of the chargers going out so its not a stretch. Its beginning to sound a little like that but dont replace it until you test battery under load.

Or if your near an oex, bring your battery in and put it on one of their new chargers. Im sure they would be cool with that.
