I'm fairly certain you should be seeing closer to 13.4 v or so on a good battery. One with less will probably power accessories but won't start the truck. I had the same issue a few months back...I would try to find the source of the drain...

The new battery is 12.66 volts and the other 12.70 volts. I had cleaned all the connections and sprayed corrision remover before reconnecting everything. I ohmed out the cables and no problem there. The cables were checked many times for tightness. The truck ran fine before I changed the battery and alternator and never had a problem starting or charging before. It puzzle me why it started the first time with the new battery and then won't start now.
