What kind of battery does a Silverado 2500HD have?
Hello all. I have an 08 2500 with the factory dual battery option. I have noticed that the driver side battery is always at or above 12.8V (100%) but the passenger side battery is usually 12.1-12.3V (50-70%). This voltage is checked after the truck has been sitting for a few days and up to a week.
Why does my Silverado have a dual battery?

After digging between the seats and center consol I found the remote and as I thought it was in the on position, if the radios on the CD player still works and for some reason unknown to me now 12 years ago I wired it through a battery hot instead of the fuse box.

Why do I need Two batteries in my Silverado?
Both are connected in parallel (making one large battery) and both power the truck all the time. The diesel has a much larger starting load requirement and thus needs both batteries to start. The primary battery, passenger side, is lower because it is powering the truck. Even with the truck off there is a load to power the computers and such.
