I don't use my 68' P6b that regularly and have it attached to a trickle charger. We went for a 70 mile drive on Friday and I went to move the car after being parked for about 20 minutes and the battery was completely dead? We had a breakdown company jump start us on the Sunday and drove straight home. I got back in the garage and tried to restart it straight away and dead again? I put it on the trickle charger overnight and this evening it has started again but once again I've just tried to start it for a second time and it's dead again? I've put a multimeter across the battery terminals and it's showing about 13.5 to 13.8 v from the battery without the engine running.
Any simple steps or checks I can do to try to see if it's the alternator or the battery that's starting to fail? I believe the alternator to be a 11AC early one as doesn't seem to have the more modern modular type connector on the back?
Thanks
