2019 Ram 2500 — battery dies after the car sits for a weekend

Charge curves lie if you don't match starting SOC and temp. Match starting SOC and battery temp if you're comparing 2019 Ram 2500 charge sessions. I'd do that before spending real money. I'd want a dollar figure or a measured spec, not 'should be fine.' A day of patience here is cheaper than a wrong part. If that fails I'll eat the diagnostic fee.

I'd treat 12V warnings as a no-ignore. On the 2019 Ram 2500, I'd get the 12V/DC-DC side checked even if the traction pack looks fine. Then you'll know the next fork. On “battery dies after the car sits for,” that was the fork that mattered for me. A shop burned me once by skipping that step. If your situation is the opposite, ignore me. Might be overthinking it, but I'd rather overthink than overspend.

Low-voltage gremlins will strand you even with a full pack. Try a second charger before blaming the 2019 Ram 2500 — site sharing and pack temp change the curve a lot. Then you'll know the next fork. Just my two cents from doing this recently. Heat soak after errands is the other window.

Don't clear the alert just to make the screen pretty. Leave the alerts on the 2019 Ram 2500 so service can see what you saw. Then you'll know the next fork. This is from a 2019 Ram 2500 in Charlotte with 48,000 miles. Stop there until you know. Next check is the cheap one I can do in a driveway.

I'd want a dollar figure or a measured spec, not 'should be fine.' Not trying to scare you — just skip the expensive first guess. I keep a notes app thread for this now.

Checked the easy stuff on the 2019 Ram 2500 and found one clue worth chasing before I book a shop. Cold start is when I can actually reproduce it.
