Ok thanks for all the tips. I got those diode chips on Amazon so I will try that next.
I got the accessory battery for the dash cam and since I’ve had it on 4 days the Volts are sitting at around 12.1 prior to this they would drop a .# every day not driving. So that’s a plus.
Started the truck up and the volt at the battery was 14.0
Now that the good weather is here the kms will start to add up so hopefully this will be the last of it.
Keeping my noco in the back just I case lol.
Oh the alt test came back borderline. I could replace it it I could leave it so leaving it for now and if I replace I’ll remove the diode fuse and add a dc power alt.
Battery is still good.
In hindsight and what I’ve learned on here it’s a combo of 💩 that caused this. 2 high draw accessories plus extremely low kms and cold weather starts.
The guy at the battery shop is also prolly sick of seeing me. Lol.
