Hi MSL ,
got the same problem a few weeks ago , the alt loaded nicely , but the battery ( although 12,98 V on the voltmeter ) wouldn't crank the engine like it should do & the battery was emptied in a few seconds.
When the battery was put in // with another one , problem solved.
I checked all the wires , it was the big red one from the battery to the starter which was loose at the starter , the nut had to be tightened back , problem solved...
Maybe it is not that , take a look , you never know
