How old is the battery Tom? I replaced a dead battery (8 years / 2014) last week. I know there's a "reasonable" drain.. If I let the van sit for 3 to 4 weeks, the cranking is quite weak but it starts. Then one day there's not even red blinking lights when I turn the ignition ON. I charged on boost (20 amp) for 5 hours and then on regular (2-6 amp) overnight. Nope... no cranking. I took it out and brought it to the store for testing... they said it's dead.
