Electrical issue?
 
So yesterday the jeep decided not to start on me... Checked the voltage at the terminals and it read 12.5v. Put a tranquill charger on it and for some reason when I turned it on it said it was already charged.

This evening I ran the battery down to Advance and put it on there 35min rapid charger and charged the battery. Came home put the battery in and she started right up. I was pretty stoked that maybe it was just a dead battery until I realized the dome lights and dash lights started to flicker. I turned the truck off and than tried to restart it and had no luck.

Does anyone think this might just be the alternator or could it be something else? I have an aftermarket guage pod installed from the PO that has, water temp, oil pressure and voltage readings and it said I had 14v.

Bad thing is I'm asking this and I'm an electrician. Haha

Do you know of any write ups that will list where all my ground points are?

Behind the cylinder head, also on the block on the right side near the distributor, the battery and the battery to body ground
