Dead Batts!!

Went to work this morning, like normal radio on, headlights, driving lights and heat. Normal cool down with lights off and watching gauges. Everything seems normal. Come out after work and batts. are DEAD. After getting the longest jump known to man Truck finally starts and runs normal. Drove home 8 miles in traffic. Shut off and restarted many times. Load tested batts seem to be good. Charging is fine. Hooked up to my On Board Diagnostic (OBD) computer and watched voltage. The gauge shows just over 14.00 volts and computer shows about 13.8-14.0 volts. Alternator is 1 year old batts are two! Any Ideas???
