Bad Battery?

so out of no where ive noticed my car chugging to start

im think ahh, i must have left a switch on no biggy, it started and i check the switches and nothing so thats kinda odd

drove around the whole day parked the car came out tonight and it was chugging again to start

so i checked with a meter and it was at 13.4 running but as soon as i turned the car off it was dropping fast down 12 then 11 and this is like watching a countdown

first i thought maybe the alternator wasn't charging right but when i start the car again it goes back up to 13-14 range so the alt is running fine

could the battery just take a dump like that? worst part is the car has like 36,500 on it now so its just out of warranty...
