Default Battery keeps going flat

As above,


My RST is off the road but I have been warming it up etc so not letting it sit.


Everytime I switch the car off the battery dies.


What usually happens is the car will idle then the idle starts to go lumpy and jumps onto 3 cylinders and cuts out.


When you start it again it winds over for a few seconds and fires up.


I always need to start it with jump leads.


Battery has 11v in it
When running its between 13.5 and 15v


Previous owners thinks the fuel pump is drawing too much current from the car.


Would this be true?


Thanks in advance.
