AFAIK the 'magic eye' only shows the state of charge of a single cell.

My money would probably be on a very high resistance 'crack' in a link between two cells.

In the old days when you could get at individual cells you could have found it and either repaired or bridge out the defective cell.

Keep the meter on it and just turn on lights ( interior, side and then main) to increase the load, and watch the volts drop.
