After nearly 3 weeks, it seems the issue has been resolved.

I have a 2025 RAM 1500 and it's had electrical issues since I bought it in August 2024. Service center replaced both batteries due to parasitic drain in early February 2025. Additionally, since mid-January 2025, I've had repetitive (up to as many as 7-8 times per day) "Uconnect Box Error"...

Thanks for the tips, RamLtd19. I'll look to see whether I have the same configuration as my truck is a 2025.

I have a 2025 RAM 1500 and am having battery drain issues as well. Today, on cold start, the voltage reading system showed below 8 volts, but once engine started alternator recharged it to 14+ volts. Took it to the dealer, they connected their computer and said there are no issues. Once it...

That link is dead end for me too.

kapinallinen2, thanks for sharing your video. It's a bit crazy that the electronics can draw on the battery overnight every day. I'm going to hook up a volt meter to measure amps and start pulling fuses to try to locate the most offensive electronic systems.

Thanks for sharing that information, MarkTTU. It's a brand new truck I bought at the end of August 2024. I assume the 2,600 hours is continuous operation. Service guy said the batteries last on average about 3 years.

Thank you, Kilroy. I plan to take the truck with a trailer on the road and am a bit concerned about the parasitic drain creating a shorter battery life. I'd hate to loose the battery in the middle of the woods without service. So, I'm not sure how best to use a battery tender for that type of use.

No chargers plugged into USB ports or other accessories.

Thanks, Kilroy. The service tech "tested" the battery with a 3-hour "parasitic draw test." Result as stated on the invoice include "Verified customer complaint while driving and auto start stop engages voltage will drop down to 11 volts. This is due to MGU not charging vehicle as engine is not...

More information on the parasitic battery drain... When the Auto engine turn off button is off (normal status) and the engine shuts off, the battery voltage drops to 11 volts. Could the parasitic drain be because of the auto engine shutoff system? Any insights would be appreciated!

I bought my 2025 RAM 1500 end of August 2024. Several electrical issues. 1. The battery has a parasitic drain (11.4 volts with engine off; 13.8 volts engine running). Haven't started diagnosing yet. 2. At ~1700 miles, three things happened within a few days (1) Notification flashed a few...
