Now the interesting thing is when I noticed the drop I checked the battery with a load tester and it came in around 94% capacity which is why I wasn't too worried. I checked the SG of the acid and levels and it charged up nicely but was still dropping voltage quickly if used. When it died, it was quite quick, from Go to No Go.
