    Here is the update. I let the battery charge all night, it was at 13.6 volts with the charger on. As soon as I unplugged the charger, the voltage dropped to 12.6 or so I turned all lights and electronics on. The voltage didn't drop a lot immediately and looked somewhat normal (to me) , but after about 2 hours it began dropping rapidly. I took it to O'reillys and they confirmed that it was bad. I did replace the battery with one from Advanced Auto Parts that has an RC rating 135 with the cranking amps at 800 and 1000. I know I didn't get a great battery but the one I pulled out was only rated at 75 RC with 400 and 500 on the cranking amps. Plus I had a promo code for there so I got the $89.99 battery for about $60.

    Thanks to everyone for there input, it will definitely be helpful in the future.
