Starting problem k1500

Hello,
We have bought yesterday a silverado stepside k1500. When we drove home and went to the gasstation. When we restarted the enginge, the only thing we heard was the clicking of the solenoid and the gage of the battery meter went down to 9 volt when I turned the key. We went to a shop and asked for a starter battery, and then fired up the chevy. This morning it started like 5 times. Then this afternoon we decided to do a little trip, we stopped somewhere for 5 minutes. When we wanted to start up again... again the same thing, clicking of the solenoid but no starting engine. I mesured the battery, 12,6 v. Alternator 13,56 v... It's like something discharges the battery when we drive... or the chevy won't start when it's hot ?

When I turn the contact on, the voltage of the battery drops to 11,99 volt. When the contact is on, it consumes plus 3 amperes.
How can I do a load test?
thx

I did a load test, hung a multi meter on the fully loaded battery, started the engine and the multimeter went down to 2,27 volts !!!
So replaced a new large battery, 100 Ah and 647 cca. It starts fine for now.
I am from belgium
