Quick Help Needed - Volt reading with car "on" but not running?

TXSpeedDemon

Could use a quick helping hand.

Went to car after work today and it won't start. Barely tries to turn over. Only tries a single time then shuts off. I can put the car in "ACC" and in "On" (so don't think it's steering lock), just can't get it to keep trying to start till it catches. It only tries to catch for 1-3 whirls.

I'm guessing/hoping it's just a low battery. Meter reads just under 12 when the car is in the "on" position. I remember it reading closer to 14 when running, but never checked with the car just in the "on" position. lights and radio seem to work fine.

Can anyone run out to their car and check the reading with their car in "on" but not running?

I'm hoping their's will be closer to 14 so I can be more certain it's just a worn battery. Car is 09 with 26K miles with stock battery. I waiting for my wife to come get me now and debating towing to the dealership tomorrow or going home for tools then coming back to change out the battery tonight.

Thanks
