Another casualty of Covid-19.
I don't drive the truck a lot. A smart guy would sell it and just rent a truck for the few times a year I actually need one, but I'm not that smart.
The lockdown has just made it worse, the last time I used the truck was mid to late March, and that was just to drive to the gas station to fill it up because gas was cheap. I had to put it on the charger just to start it then. Fast forward to now, it's dead. I put the charger on it, and the ammeter jumps about every second, from 2 to 4 amps, just for a second. I left it on 3 hours, and there isn't enough juice to run the power locks. Now for the kicker - I can't find the receipt. Hopefully Menards can look it up by my credit card. It's an Exide and it's supposed to have a 40 month replacement warranty.
The car gets used maybe once every week, and the 3 1/2 year old factory battery still spins it over like a motorcycle - VW 1.4T
