Default '91 Coupe quattro battery voltage 8V on start

Intermittently, the battery voltage when I start my CQ is about 8-9 Volts. The car will run, but it is clear the voltage is low.

A minute later, voltage will jump to 12 V on its own or when I restart the car and all is fine for another week or two.

Any thoughts on what can be causing this?

Bad battery or voltage regulator on the alternator would be my two thoughts.
