Is my thinking right here with what my issue is?

After having both batteries replaced while still under warranty, I asked the Service Department attendant what the problem was, with the gladiator charging system, etc. He was nice enough to be honest and tell me that the auxiliary battery was way under engineered. As much as I believe that, in my case, it was due to the short drives/parasitic draw. And not being allowed to be fully recharged. So like many others, I have resorted to a battery tender. I haven’t had a problem since I have been using it. Also, don’t use the Jeep for short trips anymore. This only works if you have a second vehicle.

Service department people really only toss out stuff that sounds good.
Battery issues plague other makes and models, too.
Being honest? Naw, he's just tossing that out there
