dead batteries?

dead batteries?
So I park the truck on Friday, start it today and notice right away that the wipers are slow. My Edge monitor shows battery at around 10 volts. Ran the truck to town thinking it would charge but they didnt. truck started to not shift properly, gauges were on and off. Is it possible that batteries would just quit without warning? I have chargers on them now to see if they will take a charge but they don't appear to be charging 2014 superduty with 60000 kms

I started it with the remote and when the truck was running it showed that voltage of 10 I was watching the monitor and it went as high as 11 when driving but then went back to 10. the funny thing is there shouldnt have been any drain on the batteries while parked and like i said it didnt give any indication up to this point. will the batteries just quit like that? I am charging now but they dont seem to be taking a charge

Hi Senix
they are taking a charge now but when I start it up the voltage is only at 12 and slowly starts to drop. I think it is the alternator also but what is weird is that it was fine on friday so even if the alternator was frapped what would cause the batteries to go dead after sitting all weekend? I will change the batteries just to be safe as well as they are coming up to 4 years anyway, but it still doesnt make sense to me
