So I couldnt drive it and the highest voltage on the car from a battery charger and it was a cold it was 13.36, and it just started decrease very slow untill it was dead, but I took out the two top wires in the pig tail for the alternator and it stayed at 12.10 volts. And it drop once I turn my lights on and all my stuff and it was a slow drop not a fast one.

Yeah I know your trying to help, and im was telling you the volts at cold start with no battery jumper was 12.10 and with the lights on and everything else on I couldnt get a good reading bec it drop down to 11.80 and then starting droping slowly, and I couldnt drive it bec it would move 5 feet and everything start to lose battery and stall out. And after I would turn the key off it would jump up 12 volts on the dot. So what else do you want me to do

If it's dropping like that with the engine running, then I bet there's something wrong with the charging system.
