Like this morning, I checked battery it was at 12.1 volts, not enough to crank it, so I jumped it off from my truck. With the engine running WOT battery goes up to 14.5volts. To me that means stator and regulator are good and sending charge to battery, right? But when I cut the engine off and put meter on battery it slowly trickles down from 14.5 until its back to 12.1 or so. That make sense?

A fully charged battery is 12.62 volts.
@ 12.1 v. you need to charge it with a small 1 amp charger for say 12-16 hours then check it after sitting undisturbed overnight.
Do not use a high amp charger, as it will not do a small battery good.
Possibly the "NEW" battery sat on the suppliers shelf for a year and it is not up to par,and never will be.
I've seen it many times.
