Ok

Acts like battery is dead but battery indicates charged and  batt charger tapers down quickly.
Your ideas to diagnos are appreciated thank you   Art

Answer
It sounds like there may be a charging system issue, try jump starting it, if it starts let it run for a while, if it stops running as soon as the jumper is removed then the alternator is not charging the battery, if you have a volt meter measure the voltage at the battery while the engine is running, it should be close to 14 volts.
