Help!!

New Battery, 14.2 volts at the terminals with the engine running.  No idiot
lights.

BUT, from time to time when you go to start her, she cranks with great
difficulty and the alarm sounds for a moment before she fires.

I'm guessing that something is discharging the battery while the car is off.
Anyone have any similar experiences?

TIA
