I recently bought a Super C at auction and figured that since it had been in the barn for many years it would need a new 6V battery, especially since the ignition switch was on when I first saw the tractor. When I checked the battery it showed 0.15V on my cheap multimeter. I took it out of the tractor and looked at it to make sure it looked okay and then began charging it with my little cheap charger set to 6V 2A. At first it showed as high as 6.47 volts and then for the last hour or so the voltage declined and now it is reading around 5.91 but does not seem to be falling any more. The battery has a Central Tractor sticker on it with a punch card on top for month and year, but the year is indicated only by one digit, in this case 4. I am guessing this must be 1994 since I think CT was closed by 04. the price sticker on the battery says $44.99. Is continuing to charge the battery a good idea or am I doing something dumb? Any advice will be much appreciated. Zach
