Battery help please - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

So I tested it and it's 6.2V. The hobie charger still reads green when I plug it in. Strange because it was dead after a day of use, I plug the charger in and it stays green but now it can run the pump. How did it charge if the light stays green. Thought circuitry would shut charger down to prevent overcharging.

Testing it under load is tough, the hobie battery contacts are covered.

Any other suggestions? Probably a new battery?
