Todd:
A fully charged 12V lead acid battery will read between 12.7 and 13.0VDC
depending on temperature. The hotter it is the lower the voltage of a fully
charged battery. A fully charged 6V battery will 1/2 of this range. It sound
like:
1) you have 2 paralleled batteries and
2) they are both dead.
Try charging them overnight with a very good charger, and then test your
car's charging system. At 2K rpms, your batteries should read over 14VDC.
Hope that helps..

Subject: The prince of darkness strikes again.......
Well, Lucas the eternal prince of darkness has struck again.
I can't get my MG to start. It will grown then click, click, click. It
even wipes out the clock on my radio each time I try to turn it over. I
have cleaned all the posts, replaced all the battery cable connections,
tested both batteries (each read about 11.80). I am at a loss. Could it be
my connection to my starter? Help! I was so looking forward to driving it
to the meeting in MPLS for the NAMGBR.
Thanks
