What's the betting on this? A burnt out diode in the alternator
causing low output? I wouldn't have thought the cheap 6A charger was
man enough to do that. Initial recharge not long enough IME in the
past once the cars been jump started it's been OK.?

It's usually poor terminal connection at the battery, or more likely in
this case, a dodgy earth strap somewhere.

He said his starter is turning the engine, battery terminal connection
cannot (to my mind) be to blame.

Maybe an earth in the ignition circuit.
