Battery/Alternator

My SL won't start! I'm pretty sure it's my battery, but don't want to lay out the cash until I'm a little more certain. I put a volt meter on the battery while the car is running. It's charging at about 13.8 volts w/ no accesories running, 13.5 w/ ac, stereo, & lights on. It started having trouble starting about three months ago. It did this if I let it sit for 2-3 weeks between starts. Then it was if I let it sit for a week, now it won't start even right after I drive it. What should the voltage be while charging? I always thought you should have 14+. Even if I jump start it, I have to let wait 1-2 minutes before it will start even w/ it hooked up to my truck. What do you think??? ANy help would be greatly appreciated!

Chris
