W126 300SDL Battery low amps

This is driving me crazy.
'87 300SDL 290,000K
Battery not enough amps to start but turns over. Even if left alone for 4 days still turns over but I have to jump it.

If I drive 5 min after a full 2 day 2amp deep charge it still does it.

Right now it reads 16v and it checks out at the local parts store charging system test unit. No dead cells, it says alternator putting out over 14v.

Battery unknown vintage but looks fairly new and is a big interstate 750CCA.

HELP
