Day 2 of new battery and so close and Yet so far!

Battery had 12.65v last night. I installed a new starter relay switch as well last night. Tested right away and the car started fine but it was warm.

This AM recorded battery still at 12.65v

Used spare key to start and it turned over normally first try!!!

Pulled out of garage and did usual morning car shuffle. 2nd start after running only long enough to back down driveway is right back to NUTS! Turned spare key & my regular key several times and nothing. Again it eventually started and ran normally.

Parked it for work and testing battery while running around ~13.80v with radio & lights on.
Shut-off and locked it settled to 12.90v with no noticeable drop for a minute.
