did you test the battery with the car on or off cuz if you checked it with the car on ur reading the voltage the alternator is giving to the battery

Well you can load test your battery also with the car on....Turn on every damn accessory you have and see if yo **** is keeping up if it is your alternator is doing its job...After that you need to verify the battery itself is good. Any parts store will test it fo freeee.

If the battery is good voltage wise, it might be the cold weather.
