There is a slight chance that the tender is bad or plugged into the wrong socket. After he gets it home give the battery a good charge on a charger and not a tender. If problem persists then get a new battery.

Have that issue with 12 volt readings on my outdoor inground lights that show 12 volts at the socket but won't light a bulb! Usually a high resistance, corroded light fixture wire to main line mechanical connection. After 20 years, believe I have soldered most of those by now!
Bit funny with the C7 as the cable to battery connections are a better than old designs. But they must be tight to start!
