Starting issue

06 6.0 f250, I went out of town for 2 weeks came back home and went to jump in my truck and it seemed like it almost started but didn't then slowly each time I tried it seemed like the battery was draining down. Is this just from it sitting for so long without cranking or is it something else my scangauge says I'm getting 11.5 volts. Do I need to just jump it off or get a whole new battery. Or is it another issue?

possible you might have a slow drain somewhere, you sure nothing like a dome light got left on? I'm not sure what all shuts off with the retained accessory option......

Pull both batteries out and have them charged and load tested. If one shows bad plan on replacing both. Hopefully they are warrantied or at least pro-rated.
