You still need to check that the alternator is producing at least 14.4 volts at 2K rpm after starting.
P38A 12.5 volts and not enough to start engine.

If the alternator is OK the voltage should stay the same, so worth checking with a heavy load. The voltage will fold back to below 14 volts as the state of charge of the battery nears full charge.
