I have been jumping my b6200 from the battery for months now, it no longer holds a good charge.
It's been parked for about a month and I went to jump it yesterday and it drained my portable jumper. It turned over very slow like it would on a low battery.

I have a slightly nicer jumper that shows amp usage and when I tried to use it to start it was going from 12v to 6 point something while cranking.

Correct me if I'm wrong but these don't actually require that much to turn over do they?

I'm going to replace the battery today but I have a feeling this isn't going to fix the problem. I've never had a starter go out. Is this a symptom of a bad starter or solenoid? Ignition switch?
