Default Battery volts drop

Hi all-

First off... Happy New Year!

Car is running great. Even the battery when day driving.

This note is more-so out of curiosity. I rarely drive at night but recently I noticed that when I drive with my lights on the voltmeter drops quite significantly. Normal is 13-14v. Lights on drops it to 10v or less.

Even worse, lights on, fans on, drops it to 8-9v.

Is this normal?

Battery is ~12months old (Duralast 26R-DL). Even when the voltmeter drops all seems well. The lights are not fading or flickering.

Again, not doing much night driving so was interested it what others experience.

Thanks!!
