The starting system is likely not at fault based on your report of the vehicle stalling after the jumper cables were removed, AND it started subsequently.
I think I would probably look at the battery, especially if it is more than two years old.
1. Remove, clean, and refit the battery terminal connections.
2. Have the battery load tested at an auto parts store or service facilty to determine its cold cranking amperage.
Even though the charging voltage appears good at 13.5, you could have blown diodes in the rectifier which could significantly reduce the amperage.
3. Have the charging system amperage output measured by the auto parts store or service facility.
Good luck!
