Hey Guys, need help here.

Its been about 16 to 25 degrees around here the last few days. I've charged each batteries with a 6 volt 6 amp charger, and I'm getting 6.40-6.60 volts between 6 batteries. But in the morning when I check the batteries after they have been off the charger they range from: 6.04-6.183 on a digital meter.

Is this common for the cold weather to lower the votage of the batteries and if so is there a chart or anything stating with temp drop what to expect the battery volt to be at fully charge??

Thanks for any help,
