Sorry to hear that you're dealing with jerks. This is at least the third thread that's been started on here about dead batteries, so obviously there's a problem with something. (I'm positive that YOUR aftermarket reverse lights aren't running my batteries dead) But at least you've got yourself covered now in the event of future issue.

This is what I am asking for, for Christmas. This should extend the life of the battery by 2x's at least. What do you guys think?

Im guessing that should help but do we know the reason for the premature battery failure? Is it bad batteries? Under powered alternators? Under sized batteries?

I have though that the heat in the engine bay is one issue, but it seems the cold is a culprit to the short life as well.

I am going on my 3rd winter with this truck and still the orginal batteries. I am on borrowed time I suppose.
