I do think your battery has decided to give it up. That low a voltage when cranking and the resulting even lower drop at the coil will never do.
Amazon has 6v units of different brands. The tender plus would be closest in spec to my Schumacher but the junior should do just as well to keep a good battery at the ready. The junior also looks like it would be easier to permanently mount. Also have a couple of combination 6/12 units & all seem to have pretty good ratings.
I bought my 12v Schumacher tender at one of the local stores several years ago. Amazon has the newer model at a better price -- similar specs but slightly different mount. I don't think Schumacher makes 6v units -- or at least I didn't find one readily.
