Think it’s time, battery looses charge over night. I got about 5 years out of the Delco in it now. Napa stuff any good? I’m not going AGM.

I've used NAPA Legend for over 15 years in our 2006 Acura and 1996 RAM. Only once did I have a failure while it was still under warranty; 5 years at that time. Got a new one at the pro-rated discount because of the warranty. They're getting more expensive like everything else too. I replaced my original 2013 RAM OEM battery about a year ago and found the Interstate at Costco to be a reasonable price albeit a shorter warranty, but a minimum of 2-year full replacement if you go back to Costco. Like has been mentioned, they're mostly all made by one of 3 manufacturers now.

I put a pair of RED TOP AGM batteries in my Dakota about 12 years ago. One where it belonged and the other
under the bed in front of the right rear wheel in a rack I built and welded in. The battery under the hood does every thing
it would normally do. The one under the truck was hooked up to a shut down solenoid connected to the main
battery. I used my secondary battery to charged camera batteries, lap top, and run several other 120 volt
items. The solenoid kept the main battery from discharging when the truck was shut off and charged the
secondary battery when running. Both batteries are still working great today. They cost a pretty penny
when I bought them, but 12 years later they are still working great.....
