Default Hard starting got truck back

Dealer said that my injectors had carbon build up on them. they ran some additive to the fuel to fix that . My passenger side battery had a dead cell in it again so they replaced it also. They also said that the truck was not being driven hard enough, I guess the wife has been babying it and it did sit for about 6 weeks. but why would the batteries keep burning up cells?

To help keep the injectors clean use 5-7oz of Lucas in every tank and you may also see a small increase in your mpg numbers. BTW I use 5oz in every tank even if its not all the way empty. If I put in more then 20 gallons I will use 7 oz of Lucas fuel treatment.
