Battery drain would depend on what else is on, for example headlights, courtesy lights, glove box light etcetra. If there is nothing electrical on then there should be no drain.
The voltage regualtor is part of the engine computer. You will have to replace it. You will need to remove the battery to access.The voltage regualtor is part of the engine computer. You will have to replace it. You will need to remove the battery to access.
when cranking the engine the battery voltage should not fall below 9.6volts if so replace battery
A voltage regulator is a part of the engine that keeps the vehicle from sending too much electricity through the engine from the battery.
The engine computer, behind the battery, is the voltage regulator.
Alternator is defective.
If you are checking Alternator voltage, It should 12.8 volts to 14.3 with engine running. Battery voltage is 12.3---12.8 with engine off.
The engine computer is also the voltage regulator. It is located behind the battery.

Any modern day car's ideal battery voltage is 13.8Volt. In practive however the voltage you'll find on a charged battery when testing will be in the region of 12.5V to 13V A fully charged battery will read 12.6 volts with the engine not running. With the engine running at idle speed it will read from 13.5 to 15.5 volts.
It shouldn't. When the engine is running, electricity is supplied by the alternator, not the battery. If the engine dies when the battery is disconnected, the battery and/or some related part (such as the voltage regulator) is bad.
Should really charge it then test it with a proper battery load tester. All you can do on your own is get a multimeter and check the voltage. Without it running and having sat for a 1/2 hour or so the voltage should be approx 12-12.5 volts. Start the engine and if the alternator is good the voltage at the battery terminals should be 13-14 volts. If without the engine running the battery voltage is 12 or less this may indicate that the battery is not holding a charge. Even then the voltage should go to between 13-14 volts when engine is started showing that the alternator is working to charge the battery. If when started the battery voltage stays around 12-12.5 volts or less I would suspect the alternator. Just to double check there is the main power out terminal on the back of the alternator. With the engine running check the voltage. If 13-14 volts is present at the alternator but not the battery the circuit in between the alternator and battery is suspect. If the voltage at the alternator is the same as at the battery (12-12.5 or less) the alternator or voltage regulator may be defective.
The engine computer is the voltage regulator. It is the large black box behind the battery.
