battery problem?

the last few days I've noticed the G a little slower to start. This morning it barely started when my wife was going to work, so I offered to take it instead. Leaving work this afternoon it was better, but when I got it home, it wouldn't start after being in the driveway for 10 minutes.
I didn't want to boost off the Tesla, so I plugged it into a charger at 10 amps, waited 5 minutes, then started it. Connecting the multimeter at warm idle showed me 14.5v.
Shutting it off, the battery dropped to 12.4v, then dropped to 11.6v over the next 15 minutes. So I left the test leads on there,went and had dinner,and came back to check one hour later. 12.16v.
Now 4 hours later the meter is showing 12.28v.

What gives? Battery? VCV? BCM? It seems like when it is hot the battery is draining.

The vent control valve sometimes fails to shut off, draining the battery as you describe.

I had a 2009 and the dealer replaced the valve and the battery under warranty.

There's a TSB: #ITB01-010A

Good luck...
