Hi all.
I have a technical question regarding my 2018 battery. I park it the same place every time, hence the tires settle into their respective places. I drove the truck last Saturday without issue. I went to drive last night and no electrical power, at all, absolutely nothing. Living in the rural sticks I feared rat chewing wire damage. I decided to take the battery to my local NAPA and it tested 4V. Bought new battery, being the original is now 4-5 years old, depending on when it was made. Installed, everything back to normal, except message on display said transmission not in park and it wasn't.
Strange question for techs, could me leaving it in neutral have killed the battery? Of course I turned engine off last Saturday, but didn't put it in park. I realize it was probably due a new battery, due to age, but any of you have thoughts on my neutral transmission question?
