A simple contributing factor may be crud on your battery terminals & leads (pigtail). This afternoon one of my students at 668 was adding pigtails to a new battery and scrounged some sandpaper from the school's wood shop with which to clean them to bright shiny metal. At 100 amps each hundredth of an ohm is going to cost you a volt.
