batteries going dead randomly

reply only if you have personal knowledge, no general guesses. 2005 F350 4x4 crewcab 6.0 diesel. bought with 50,000 miles in 08 now 107,000. randomly if it sits for a week or more it may or may not kill the batteries. no pattern that i can see. obviously something is staying on and drawing power, but what.factory original batteries when i bought it, replaced 2x with napa premium gold, they all test 100% on the load tester(individually) alternator charges at 13.9 if you know why component or relay has caused you issues let me know
