Default bed drain holes and batteries

This should be an easy one for all of you experts out there. On the full size Ram, are there any holes in the bed to let the rain water out? I went underneath and it looks like there is one in the middle at the cab. My old Dakota had three. I bought used and the dealer put a liner in to hide the holes from a 5th wheel. Also My truck sits for a week or two at a time. i usually put a charger on the battery. I am new to diesels. This one has two. Which battery should I put the charger to? I love this site you guys out there are the greatest!!! Thank you.

there are a bunch of "holes" in my bed for water, but mines a 04, and i let both my trucks sit a lot and i usually don't have any problems with the batteries.

The whole front end of the bed has slots in it at the base of the bulkhead. There are also 2 holes with plugs roughly 6 inches from the bulkhead. It is plain as day to see, all you have to do is look in your bed.

the battery on the drivers side is your primary battery and the one you should charge off of

thats funny, mine has holes, well slots, for the water to drain. not sure on how much, but there is a few. don't do much good cause my steet leans the other way and it just enough for the water to sit back there. but hey i find new things on my truck all the time. just today i was cleanin it up a bit and i found a compartment under the front middle seat, had it for a year and never knew it was there. then to top it off, the factory put a "electric brake contector harness" in it, if i would have known that could have saved 15 bucks

I bought my truck used. It had no harness. We should have connected earlier, I would have bought your spare. $25 for mine
