    Is yours a 12v fridge or are you running it through seen inverter? I've accidentally left my 12v fridge running over a weekend and the truck fired right up and i don't have a separate lvd. Back when i used a 110v through an inverter it will kill the batteries over a single 8 hour sleeper break.

    Its a 12v that came in the truck. Well thats not true freightliner had to replace it twice but u get the point. If thats all that runs it will last about 4 days. If its on with the bunk heater it doesnt last long.

    This poor trucker has 2 parking receipts taped to his window and hes gonna come back to this... Atleast he was somewhat thoughtful and paid instead of leaving it in a free spot for a couple days like most. It's the worst I've seen it out here in my 12 years... Pitiful. Didn't have my flash on but clearly someone couldn't do a straight line back and tore the side of his truck up. Pieces of his truck laying on ground.

    I dont think anyone had to run to admins about it, jason watches pretty close since mercer took it over last year. Lots of coordinators, contractor relations, fleet managers, agents and even dale corum watch that page.

    East Penn (Deka) do make great batteries, but like you mentioned they are difficult to source. Their main business is not vehicle batteries by far.
    Johnson Controls, Delphi, and Exide make all the other brands you see.... Interstate, Champion, Everstart, Motorcraft, Napa, Etc.
