Since I retired I don't drive my truck unless I need a truck hauling or pulling something. With fuel prices the way they are we go in the car or on the motorcycle when possible. So I have in the past year replaced the both batteries in my 2018 ram because after it sitting for a week or so it would not crank. This time I paid attention and after the truck sitting about 18 days I needed to go to Homedepot and the truck would not turn over everything lit up but no turning over put my jump box on and cranked right up. We went to town and it cranked every time we stopped and shut it off. So my question, is this about normal for a newer model truck with all the electronics on them and maybe I need to put a battery tender on it like I have on the motorcycle?
