Battery Help

I have 2 batteries, 1 yellow top and 1 kenetic. I was wondering what the resting voltage should be? I am thinking that one of the 2 is bad. Thanks for the help,

Depends on the temperature. When it's 60 degrees out my battery rests around 12.9v. When it's below zero my voltage goes down to 12.1v. Average battery voltage is around 12.6v though. Anything lower than like a 12.3 when it's warm out I would be skeptical. Make sure the battery is good and charged and go to a place like VIP or autozone and have them test it if you think the battery is dying

Ya I think the kentic is shot. Right now it rest, after sitting at 10.6. GRRRRRRR looks like I need a new second battery, thanks for the help.
