Battery appeared to be dead and charger would not charge it. Then I jumped it with my pickup truck, and engine started and continued to run with jumper cables connected. Checked voltage at 13.90 volts, then disconnected jumper cables and voltage started dropping withing about 2 mins down to 8 volts, and engine died. Battery slowly recovered to 11 1/2 volts. Then I put battery back on charger and it read 13 volts, set at 2A charge. Started engine, voltage dropped to approx 8 volts and engine started to die, switched charger to 8 amps, and engine recovered and continued to run. Any ideas on what to do from here?
