Slow cranking

My car is cranking very very slowly.  It will crank fine if I use a battery
charger and set it to "200 amp start".  The battery is a 2 year old
PEP Boy unit.  The alternator is putting out 13 volts @ 1500 RPM.  If
I charge the battery it might get a bit better but it does not last. I
am thinking the battery is toast.  Is the alternator putting out
enough voltage?  I figure the starter is fine since it cranks fine
with the battery charger attached.   What is the consensus?
