So far today I've driven twice, this morning, the starter kicked in and spluttered out. I jumped it from a starter kit and went on my merry way.
On the way back, I picked up a multimetre and checked the battery when I got back, just over 12v (12.34). I checked it a few hours later and it hadn't dropped.
I went to go out this afternoon and checked it just before and it was .01v lower, but when I went to start it, it spluttered out again and had to use the jumper.
On fast idle I get a 13.4v reading so while a little low, I think the alternator is in the clear.
Is there anything else I should test to determine the problem or can I safely assume I need a new battery?
