by your answer the alternator is ok I would suggest the battery fluid levels could be a question so battery not holding the volts to crank or just barley, check the fluid levels and earth connections for good contact ( chances are the battery is bad ).

you only have 2 wires from the battery + - the - goes to the chassis, is there such a thing as a maintenance free battery?? its common to get confused over this because the filler screws are covered with n advert ( peel it off and then you will see the fillers ) the newer batteries are gel filled so no plugs to fill and have a light on the top showing green when its ok sort of a peep hole

They advertise it as maintenance free battery and I had no idea these batteries also need the fluid level to be checked. I will update you once I check the fluid lever and the “–“ cable going to chassis…I truly appreciate all your help…
