WHY ARE YOU SHOUTING?

No, battery failures are not real common at all. Sounds like something is not correct with your charging system.

The caps lock is the key just to the right of the "A" key.



If the alternator is producing 128 amps and the batteries are new, check your cables. Obviously, something was overlooked.
