I believe it is 2.2 volts per cell, 6.6 volts would be the max possible, slightly less real world.

6.25 - 6.37. Shows a full charge after 24 hrs of no charging or a draw on the battery.

If it doesnt drain from sitting without load and stays in that area seems fine to me.
Need to load test it to see if you still have some cranking capacity to be real sure about the condition.
