I am not convinced the battery is bad, though that's why I recommended earlier to invest in a charger to read the IR of the cells which will give you a better indicator of when the battery needs to be replaced.

7.85V / 2 = 3.9V per cell which is close enough for storage, the lower grade chargers are not going to be very accurate
