Keith, There seems to be many posts about batteries this time of year. Some people say the summer heat damaged batteries. As a Kid I worked at a gas station. During the hottest part of the summer and the coldest part of the winter, we replaced many batteries.
There seems to be a common theme with many of the battery posts, IF I DON'T USE THE TRUCK FOR A LONG TIME, THE BATTERY IS DRAINED.
So I draw the following conclusion: Either there is something draining the battery or the battery is self discharging, getting old and on the last leg.
My advice to everyone is stop guessing on what's happening. Get a battery minder 12348 or something like it and get a battery conductivity tester to actually measure the CCA. I got both of mine off amazon, because they weren't sold locally. I have many batteries that sit over the winter. All those batteries have been removed and are sitting on workbench in barn, taking their turns on the battery minder. The rest of my batteries are close to a 120v outlet and they will be charged a few times over the winter. My battery minder never gets a rest.
