Disassemble, Clean and re-tighten the jump + post under the hood. Also check and clean the grounds and positive wiring connections to the starter and the alt. Then retest. The jump point gets most of the failed issues. Also, check the grounds points near the battery for poor connections.

Look up Volt drop testing for a quick measurement of how to test these points.
