New battery and solonoid would most likely solve the problem.
Testing with a meter is not a load test. Many batteries will charge fully and look OK with a meter, but will not survive a load test
A load tester will apply a load equal to one-half of the Cold Cranking Amps (CCA) rating of the battery for 15 seconds and this is the recommended method.
Without out a load tester the following method will give a good indication of battery condition.
Check the battery voltage it should be over 12.25 volts
Disable the ignition and operate the starter motor for 15secs, no longer.
Check the voltage again
If less than 9 volts replace the battery
