Yes you have seen a big drop in the voltage in a short time and that pretty much condemns the battery. But the voltage drop that I was alluding to was as Luddite kindly explained, the reading when the starter button is pressed and the subsequent recovery or lack of.
To be honest I don't think you are going to achieve much with further tests. I officially pronounce your battery dead!
So while you're waiting for your new Motobatt to come, don't forget to have a look at those connections, as you will then be making the most of all those fresh cranking amps.
Just to reiterate my warning about the starter terminal bolt turning. If it does, it will rip out internal connections to the bolt and need a starter strip to fix, or an exchange starter (if there is such a thing?).
Old belts seem to be at their most vulnerable at the first start after a lay-up. It's not something I would take a chance on myself.
