Am I at the point I need to replace the batteries? I'm a little on the early end of what I generally consider the replacement cycle for batteries in the other vehicles I've owned. I wondered with two batteries if I'd actually get a little extra life, but on the other hand it is cranking a bigger engine and running the grid heater.
Opinions?

Mine acted very strange when the batteries were older. When cold, I would get a rythmic discharge cycling on my V meter about 5 times as fast as the grid heaters. You could see the lights dim and brighten very quickly (it was NOT the GH's). It didn't seem to hurt anything but I eventually replaced the batts and the symptom quit immediately.

From the interwebs , seems like the newer trucks eatbatteries more.
Wonder if it is more likely withthose who’s trucks sit a lot between uses and the parasitic draw on the batteries.
Experienced that with a fleet of trucks waaay up north. We stranded probably 50 trucks and another 100 pieces of various Const equipment for the summer, for about 6 months.
Had 15-20 brand new 2014 Rams with literally 100-200 mi on them and ALL of them were dead as a doornail and some wouldn’t take a charge. 70-80% of the rest of the equipment fired right up.

I replace mine at 5~6 years because i don't want my family stranded out in the boonies someplace.
