Went out to start volvo 78 yesterday (on the first bitterly cold day of the year) and it cranked over slowly but started. Drove 22 miles to work and when I went out during my lunch the car did the same thing. Went over to a small shop I know and borrowed a tester and found the voltage to be 14V. By the time I drove home the lights were dim but when I parked the car wasn't able to start again. Could it be the battery just wont take a charge anymore?
