2022 5.7 hemi with etorque

Found several threads with others with similar issues but they never seemed to post a follow up solution. I see Ram tend to have a lot of bad batteries after 2-3 years. Over the course of a few months my 12v battery slowly loses voltage until it gets around 11.8V. It will have a freak out then where warnings come on the screen and all sorts of errors and thing shut down like parking sensors and collision avoidance..... Sometimes when it hits this state etorque seems to stop charging the battery. If I put a charger on the 12V and recharge everything comes back and works for a few months. Etorque while driving seems to send a consistent 13+ to14V to the battery. I used one of those Amazon battery testers and its say ~94% CCA health good battery but often says just low charge.

Don't want to bother with the dealership for just a bad battery. Thinking this is very likely just a battery starting to fail?
