<<I'm not an electrical wizard but a battery shouldn't discharge that much in
just a week. Take it to someone to have a load test done (I think places
like Auto Zone, etc. do this for free). That will tell you if you need a
new battery.>>

Thanks Mike.
I'll probably have that load test done soon just to be sure. About the
discharge though, I have a streamlight flashlight hard wired in the cab and I
left it charging. I did the same thing back in June when I went out to Cali for
two weeks but there was no noticeable reduction in cranking power when I
returned. Seems a bit strange to me. I guess temperature has a big influence
on batteries?
