Flash, it sounds like you might just have a bad battery. When you had it charged did they check to see if any cells were bad?
I did replace the battery (after the tester read that it was bad and needed replacing) and then the voltage dropped from 14 to BELOW 12 within a couple minutes on running with the new battery.....

It's getting a new alternator as I type this. That should do the trick..... it better!
