It does seem however to drop down rather fast for that short of time.

consider this chart showing DC Voltage verses state of charge of deep cycle batteries...
You should not ever let a deep cycle battery discharge below the 0% SOC or 10.5VDC or it may do damage to the battery.
Most of us like to not let the deep cycle batteries drop below 50% SOC or 12.0VDC.
