Assuming your meter is correct, the battery voltage is a little low. A fully charged battery should read ~13V. With the car running, you should be reading ~14V.

Have you checked the water in the battery? If it's low, add distilled water. Adding water is a lot easier if you remove the trim piece that the battery lid fits into. See one of the "Pull the SLU Fuse" DIYs for how to remove the trim piece.
