yea the battery is cover 3years/36kThis is crazy.Whatever happened to getting over 5 years out of a battery? In the good ole’ days 7 years seemed like the average time to replace.
I haven’t bought a new battery for over 25 years since I buy a new truck every 3-5 years and I live in a far northern climate with temps well below zero often. Never once was even a concern. It’s ridiculous so many our replacing batteries in less than 3 years. This absolutely should be covered under warranty no questions asked.
Not missing a thing. Mine died couple of years ago, so just went out and bought a good one. Problem solved. No issues since.so I didn't read every single post on all the threads but enough to guess that there is no real solution or finding that points to what's causing the issue
And its just a battery replacement thru dealer/warranty or purchase a better one on your own,
Or I am missing something
get new batteryyea the battery is cover 3years/36k
called 1st dealer, they want me to town the truck. I said its gonna be tricky or not possible. They said called Chrysler town service and see what they say.
I called a second dealer who put me on hold for 20 minutes and was told they would call me back, not happening so far
I could try to jump the car but I would rather have better documentation. Some times I heard this batteries test fine but are really done for
This is me and why I think the tow truck will refuse to try and pull it out. very narrow in and around.
So if the tow truck is able to jump start the truck atleast there will be documentation of service require

already leaning towards doing thisget new battery
keep old battery
save receipt
drive truck to dealer with old battery and receipt for reimbursement
file claim
where is this awesome dealer, two locations on my end want the truck to inspect as to why its dead, I guess they have not seen enough of my cases around here4 months and almost 8,000mi. Dead as a door nail. Tested at 3.65v. Charged overnight and nothing. Took battery to my awesome dealership, they tested and confirmed it was smoked. Came home with new AGM battery. All better. And I am now charging in the 13.7-14.4v range. Was always in the mid 12v's before.

2019 Ram 2500 6.7 cummins wouldnt start for church this morning. Got it tested and driver side battery no good. Assume there will be no support from fca so I will be replacing both in the morning.Since some of our forum members are reporting issues with dead batteries.
Let's see if we can narrow down which truck configurations are reporting the most issues:
If you have had a dead battery in your truck since purchasing a 2019-2021 RAM Truck.
you seem to have it
cause no poster has come back and said I got a new battery and a few days/months later the same thing happened.
who replaced the battery and with what?I have. Post #181. Haven’t had an additional issue since then, but it occurred about 3 weeks after replacing the original battery.
Battery has the same 3year/36k warranty, unless its different on a 25002019 Ram 2500 6.7 cummins wouldnt start for church this morning. Got it tested and driver side battery no good. Assume there will be no support from fca so I will be replacing both in the morning.
