Hey, welcome to NICO Club!

Check the ground wires. Look for one from your negative battery terminal to the chassis. Also look for one ground wire going to the chassis of the alternator and make sure that one is screwed on.

Check for 12.2 volts when not running and 14.4 volts when engine is running.

Is this really a battery problem or maybe starter and starter relay or even the ignition switch?
