Starter might need an overhaul also. Along with that have the batteries load tested and have the alternator tested as well. BTW, I had a stock Mopar battery make only 2 years.

Be sure when you load test the batteries you diconnnect the cables, I had one bad battery that was draining the other. I had the same symtoms. Good luck.

Yea! Sounds like have a bad battery. Check independant of each other. Good news, three year free replacement it seems to me.
