battery/starter problem, need help

I need help. just replaced batteries 2 weeks ago. now after truck sits for 2
to 5 hours, the batteries sound like they have been drained a bit. it does not have power it needs. but after it turns over, i can shut it off, and it will crank right up like it should. I don't have a short, and while the truck is running batteries are at 14.7 volts, so i am either at the cable, which looks ok or i guess the starter. going to have the batteries checked today.
93 f250 7.3l 4x4 any one have this problem
