FSM says a fully charged battery should read 13.0 - 13.5 volts.

Would remove battery.
If needed, bring fluid levels up with distilled water.
Charge overnight (2 amps max).
Specific gravity test (little floating balls).
If doubtful, have battery load tested.

If tests okay, reinstall, being sure of clean snug terminal connections.

And also assure good solid ground connection where negative battery cable attaches to engine.

Good Luck! :)
