battery not holding charge

truck would not turn over I check battery it was die, I charged battery not problem after truck sat over night battery would be dead, I test battery with metter cables removed reading 27.4 I check another battery i have it reads 13.5. I had alternator replaced I still have the same problem. Note: The battery will charge and when I drive the battery charges than after awhile I notice amp. gage reading has dropped abit, I'll turn off after awhile I start and the gage is reading OK as I drive for awhile it drops again. I have been disconnecting battery over night. Could it be my starter may be the problem it work ok when the battery is charged. Thanks
