Default battery/starter problems

When i tried to start the car yesterday... it clicked and would not turn the engine - lights worked - headlights will come on - but the engine will not turn....
Took the battery to the store - said the battery was fine and just needed to be charged - charged the battery - started the car it turned the engine.
Tried to start today and have the same issue...
looks like the battery lost charge and is not re-charging once the engine starts up...
seems like something other than the battery is going on here...
any ideas ??

So, this time, get the truck started and drive to your local auto parts store and have them do one of their free battery/alternator test to get a better idea what is wrong. Find out exactly what the voltage is at an idle then at 2000 rpm's. turn of the engine and see what your battery has then, get all the voltage numbers and get back to us with them
