starting problems????

ok i think its my battery. how much voltage does a 3rd gen need to start? i have about 12.5 volts. but after the car starts it is running 14.5 volts so the alternator is working. looks like the battery is not recharging. if 12.5 volts is enough then its prob my starter or something else.

thanks

12.5 is about minimum charge on a battery, they do hold a suface charge so check the voltage after you have turned the lights on and then off. sounds like an ignition switch or a starter prob to me.
