Alright here's my first test.
I know the battery is a little low, going to put it on the charger but,
Battery reads 12.04 when it's off
jumps from 10.98 to 5.8 when it's running
Alternator reads 12.24 running on the big main lead
.26 on the little wire when off
and 10.98 running

FYI, Battery voltages for a Lead acid
12.70 fully charged
12.20 50% charge
12.00 25% charge
Charging voltage will vary depending on which cycle the battery is in. At 14.5 the battery is charging, once charged the system will float charge at about 13.5v.
These voltages will vary slightly depending on how accurate your meter is.
