Just a follow=-up to some of the responses received to this point and some supplemental information. No, nothing was left plugged in to a power outlet, the lights or wipers were not left on, and their is a small parasite type draw in all new vehicles to power all the electronics installed in the new generation vehicles. I believe the vehicle would have to set for weeks for the parasite draw to run a good battery down. The truck is certainly not an abused vehicle as it has less then 12K miles on it at present and is only 5 1/2 years old. I try to drive it at least every couple of weeks and we just returned from a 700+ mile trip about two weeks ago. The voltmeter on the dash usually indicates slightly over 14 volts when running shortly after start up and drops down even lower after charging the battery back to it's voltage maintenance level. One thing that s puzzling to me is a much shorter warranty on the size 48 battery which is used in these pick-ups with 5 and 6 year warranties on the same level quality batteries right next to them on the shelf.
