Or... could be your battery needs to be replaced. You may want to do (or
get) a load test - any auto parts place can do this.
If a battery is reading 8 volts it will probably have a hard time coming
back from that. The mere fact that you can charge a battery back up to
reading 12V does not prove it is okay.
