After that go to autozone and check it.
After that remove alternator and take it to get checked..
Not buying any parts until late I do get my car at my house because it's to hard to do test in another city without my garage.
Alot of the info has helped me.
I'll get back once my car is at my house and battery has charged.

Thanks for the update. Good testing process. 10V is really low for a static state of a battery. the recharge will show the real battery state. Hopefully it is just brushes in the alt that are too worn to make contact. See other postings on DIY for brushes and alt reg fixes. Most seem to go down the replacement path with varied results from the part sources.
Let us know of your results
