I may decide to keep using this battery if I had a backup plan like jumping/using a trolling motor battery in case the questionable start battery died. I go by the two is one and one is none rule if I can. Always have a backup plan just in case.

I "assume" that small loss of peak full charge voltage is due to its age and not a sign of immanent signs of being about to die.
so guess i'll just roll with it and keep a close eye on what it reads when I turn the key on, if I see it start to read 12.0v at any point, then its getting replaced
