Did you say that the battery voltage when connected to your V8 is 13.0 - 13.5 volts when the ignition key is turned to 'start'?

It would appear that Chris has already done so

A drop test will weed out a tired battery, however as the battery is only 18 months old, I wold suggest it would be prudent to get it changed under warranty, as it would appear to be only holding a surface charge.
