Guys, since 12 cars, it's my first experience with battery problem, so I'm a little green with those problems.

Battery still in the car and plugged. Engine off
Took a reading direct on battery last night: 11.54 vdc.
This morning, still 11.54 VDC

Before I go and buy a battery charger, is this a sign of need to recharge the battery or need a new one?

The only thing I can tell you, that battery was in place when the alternator failed. Alternator is 3 week old now and seams to charge well (14 vdc). Do you think battery suffer due to the old intermitent running alternator and now need some help to reach and maintain 12 VDC?
