Thank You All - Dead Batteries

[Anchor Down]

Love this website. I read so many stories of dead batteries etc, you drove me to paranoia. I have a 2020 Ram Laramie Sport with zero issues. I took it to Auto Zone to have the battery checked and sure enough, after 3 years, I needed to replace the battery. The meter doesn't lie. The store owner noted they are making serious profit with vehicles featuring the start/stop features etc. I never use that feature now.

Doesn't the Start/Stop feature use the eTorque 48v battery? If so, not sure how the start/stop could be the culprit.

The stop/start on these doesn't use the 12V battery. Turning it off won't help the 12V battery in the least.
