    That is low. I'd expect it to be around 14 v

    Though I would expect the voltage to rise with the engine running.

    Sorry, I don't quite know what you mean by in the plates. I'm not experienced with auto electrical faults.

    Plates inside the battery. They can collapse and short. You then get a loss in current capacity and voltage

    In short your battery is stuffed and the problem may have cascaded to the alternator.
    First thing I would do is replace the battery with the correct capacity one and go from there.
