Check what voltage you get when the engine is running, should be nearer to 14v. if its 12ish then the altenator needs replaced, 14ish then its the battery ;-)

With engine running it’s reading well within 14v so must be the battery! Thanks for you reply

One of the belts on my jimny has started to squeal mainly with these colder days coming in and it goes on for a while unless I drop the clutch for a short second or 2? Any advice would be appreciated

Check the condition of the belts and their tension is your first port of call. Pressing the clutch takes load off the engine hence less load on the belt/s.

As mentioned at the beginning of this thread (started in 2017) remove the belts and check the alternator by spinning it. It should be nice and free with no play. Then check the up and down and in and out movement when holding the pulley. The pulley itself needs a good inspection too checking for damage where the belt fits.If all smooth and free then the belts need a good inspection and ensure they are the correct ones.
