2012 F250 Diesel batteries draining

Asked by 5FiveStar5 Nov 23, 2020 at 06:57 PM about the 2012 Ford F-250 Super Duty XL Crew Cab LB

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

We just bought a used 2012 F250 diesel.  The
batteries had to be exchanged for the test drive.  
We got it home, didn't drive it for 3 days, batteries
were dead.  Took them to pepboys, cells were bad,
bought two brand new batteries.  It was driven a
couple of times but then sat for 4 days and now
the batteries are dead again.  Pepboys did a
diagnostic after the new batteries were put in and
could not find anything draining it.  Any
suggestions?  We're one week last the return date.
