the battery has a full charge 12.98 volts

the alternator is fine

the dash battery meter shows that the battery is low (around 10 or 11 volts)

when i crank it the dash meter drops to 8 volts

it turns over but doesnt start

it starts when i jump it

the battery is smaller than the original one (i took it from my old plymoth acclaim before i scrapped it) autozone says the battery specs were fine for my explorer

i read that it might be the cables but i would like confirmation
