so now, the compressor was the culprit, and you guys who are better than thou can rest your souls knowing my batteries are fine. they will be replaced in the spring.
Dohhh! I did a similar the other day. Went out to plug it in, grabbed the flashlight out of the glove box, closed the door and plugged her in (note that I never closed the glovebox).

Went out the next morning, noticed the grid heaters stayed on quite a while (remember to check the other end of that darn extension cord), and then noticed the glove box open, doh...She did start, but barely...I'm tellin' ya, those Mopar batteries seem pretty tough as mine are original too.

Glad to hear you figured out everything T.J.
