Disconnect the battery isolator from the starting battery.
Jump start the engine. Hold the engine RPM at "fast idle" (about 1500 RPM) and use a meter to check the voltage at the starting battery terminals. It should be OVER 13.8V ! If not, you have a loose/corroded connection between the starting battery and the alternator or a bad alternator.
If you have proper voltage withe the engine running, it is time for a new starting battery.
