[QUOTE="RossKean, post: 1454455, member: 19880"] Voltage is not a great indicator of battery condition. Put it on a slow charge (2 amps or less) and try it again. Better still, after charging, take it somewhere and get it load tested. Unlikely to be too low CCA spec (180 is enough) although the battery may be defective, have a bad cell or possibly not fully charged. Make sure battery connections are clean and tight. There is a chance that your starter motor is on the way out and is drawing too much power but the fact that it started easily with a boost through small gauge wires suggests that is not the case.
