Also, 0.8 amps is about double the load the battery is rated for. The
capacity of your 9 A.h battery should be about 10 hours at 25 degrees C.

Your battery sounds cold or tired or both!

Plus, do you ever use your radio?

Where does it say that I should only draw 400 ma? The battery is brand
new
and fully charged. Open circuit wasr 12.0 to start.

What is the problem?

As a correction to the above I meant to say the open circuit voltage was 13
volts when I started everything up. I do use the radio as little as
possible.
