Default 2007 Acadia Dead issues

Vehicle died the other night while driving, power steering went first then stalled and wont turn over. Had it put on flatbed and towed home and charged the battery. Vehicle started so i tested the alternator and it showed 14.45 volts so i shut it off and did a load test on the battery and it showed good. went to start vehicle and it barely started then shut it off and hardly turned over almost dead .where does one go from here (the Bar) lol looking for some advise if possible.

I charged the battery and load tested it and CCA was good ,should i maby check voltage on battery when vehicle will hardly turn over? also i was thinking i do have a older good battery to hook up to try. At first i thought it was alternator until i got it home and tested it. Battery is only a year and a half old.

I was looking for the volts/current reading. If it don't hold better than 10 volts under full load of 150 amps it'* not healthy.
