My battery gets low after 3-4 hours. I haven't had a chance to do a voltage drop test yet but I charged my battery and unhook it after I get to work or home to keep it from going dead. I charged it today to 100 percent. I hooked up battery and drove 40 miles to work then unhooked it. The drive home and shut off truck and put battery charger on battery to see how much charge it had. Charger said 70 percent. It's an AGM battery. The voltmeter says 12.6 with key off and 14.5 with truck at idle.
