What did you check your battery with??? If a VO meter that's not necessarily and indicator of a "good" battery. You need to check them with a hydrometer and check each cell!!! you could have a bad cell or two, it will still give you 6V but not near enough AMPS. The headlight test will also "help" tell, they won't stay lit long at all with a two bad cells!!!
