Default Futaba T14SG Problm

I have a 3 year old Futaba T14SG radio with a problem.

Went flying yesterday had the radio sitting on the tail gate (it did not move)of the truck. I changed airplanes and returned maybe 5 minutes and saw I had left the radio on, but the display was out and the lights above the power only the red one was on there are usually two lights red and blue.
It was an over cast day about 60 degrees, so excess sun on the display or heat should not be the problem.
I have tried unplugging the battery and reconnecting, and also plunging the charger in. when you plug the battery in and turn on the red light comes on and doesn't go off when the power is off you must remove the battery.
The radio was charger over night before flying and read 7.4 volts at the field before the first flight battery now reads 6.91 volts on a multi meter.
Any ideas ???

7.4V I am not familiar with the 14 but isn't that a low voltage. The 9 and 10 have 9.6V batteries.

This may be because I am used the original non Lipo batteries I think the volt is corect for this model

I did get it to power back up by holding the trainer switch but it doesn't always works and never goes back to the original operations.
