When oreillys checked it they told me 14.4 volts. When I put my multi meter on the red post and ground it on the chassis, I get less than 1 volt. The battery reads in the upper 12.6 volt range after I disconnect the trickle charger. When I start the car (fuel pump and radiator fan running) the voltage drops to 12.2 and continues to decrease slowly until the battery is drained so much the car won’t start. I would have bet the alternator was bad, but the test said otherwise. I don’t know what to look for, at this point.

Thanks.
