Battery insulator?

Should there be a insulating blanket around both batteries on my 2017 6.7? There’s one on the passenger side but not one on the driver side. The driver side battery was replaced at about 10,000 miles due to leaking. Just realized there’s no insulator on that one.

Yes. Both batteries are intended to have insulators. The 2019 I just cleaned the batteries for had a removable insulator surrounding each battery.
