Re: Update on my charging problem

12 Volts is ideal for a battery at rest.  A good charging system
should put out around 13-15 volts when running with accessories on.
What kind of system are you using?  Generator?  Alternator?
I had enough trouble with my last '73 Midget and installed a GM
alternator which is cheaper and better but not OE.
It sounds as if you have a flaky diode which can be repaired easily enough.
