    Hi Julian – you’ve probably got away with it.

    Load testing a battery is not easy and needs special gear – but if it starts the engine it should be ok on that score – especially being a 6V battery. Seeing if it holds charge just need time to see if it discharges.

    Charging a battery needs higher voltage than the battery says on the label so they are tolerant of some over voltage.

    Other opinions may vary!
