Deep sleep recall on the Hybrid Maverick??

Actually - the 12V system and the battery charging circuit are 2 different things.
While the voltage coming from the DCDC Conv has always been the same between them in the log files I've seen, the amps is totally different.

You can easily have 30A going to the 12V system, and somewhere between 0 and 1A going to the battery.

Usually by the time the Volts has dropped below 15 the battery amps has dropped below 5-6A level.
Closer the V gets to 14.7 or such, the closer the amps is to 1 or below.
Not exactly, but gives an idea.

The power adapter reading is great for seeing that Acc mode voltage 1st thing in the morning - see what direction the battery is going at least.

I see 15.4V at times. That's way too high. A flooded battery can normally take the excess voltage, but you need to be worried with a 2025 model with the different battery. You definitely do not want an AGM battery charging at 15+ volts, unless you plan on buying another battery really soon...

I know, but this is some instant feedback and a deviance would mean something is up.

I have taken to when power point monitor shows 12.2 at acc in morning I will put noco on that night or two at least.

I optioned remote start on my 2023 when I ordered it?

(I mean, technically I optioned the XLT Lux package on my 2022 order, but when I rolled over and they took it out of the 2023 Lux package I had them add it back in)

The app depends on cellular technology, and I want to keep this truck for ten years. There's a good chance the cell networks might stop supporting whatever protocol the truck's modem uses before then (or that Ford might stop supporting the app in 10 years) so I was making sure I'll have functional remote start in 2033.

So yeah, I paid for factory keyfob remote start. That's why I have it.

I have the xlt thinking of feeling perimeter plus so I can have it

2022 Hybrid-Had my battery replaced, 4 months later Deep Sleep. Back to dealer for a week, reprogrammed. Then a week later Deep Sleep. I just drove 120 Miles ay 65-70 mph Friday and Saturday Deep Sleep again. So far no fix. Ford Service receipt states no fix until end of 1st Qtr 2025. Called Ford and ask if they will cover under my warranty that expired two weeks after Service. They replied, well you wil hve to pay if repaired then reach back out to us. Frustrating to say the least. I think I'm going to tie in a solar panel with a controller

You must have forgotten what FORD stands for.

FOUND ON ROAD DEAD!

Fact = if you go any one month without 12v (any type with lead) being 100% charged then you will have started sulfation. Some percentage of that may not be reversible but the sooner you put a multi stage maintainer on the battery the better. When Ford comes out with their fix whenever that may be then you can decide if they do not replace battery to purchase a new one. I am waiting to see what the fix is. If fix is inadequate I will most likely purchase a sizeable power station and install it to power up 1.5-2.0 hours after I turn truck off and power my noco. Should not have to but if I can get five plus years out of one battery I will be ahead and I will have a removable from truck power station for whatever,.

Ford firmware coders are extremely slow...
Probably more like March 2026.

Sounds like you have any EV not a HyInbred.

Was looking for input on dead battery, guess I found some. Went out this past Dec 2024. and my Maverick was completely dead. Used a charger for a couple hours, started right up. Had a discussion with my mechanic (since 1980) and his experience is that the hybrids "like to constantly communicate" with the key fob. I had the vehicle in the garage, key fob 10 ft away for 4 days. So I wondered if the click click had been going on all that time? I decided to lock the vehicle when not in use. No click click, no problems. I do keep a jump starter in back, just in case.

I have a 22 Maverick lariat hybrid. Dealer replaced my BXT99RT4A 390 CCA in it's 34th month due to a bad cell with a BXT99RT4A MAX series 470 CCA under warranty. I drove home and put my noco genius 5 amp maintainer on the new battery, shut hood, locked truck, which took over three days to charge and run the optimization routine. I then reset the BMS and locked truck for the new battery learn procedure. Left noco on for 3-4 more days unlocking and locking once a day to restart noco to top off and rerun optimization. Nine weeks after new battery installed left rear qtr panel got bent and truck was in body shop 5 solid weeks. Got it back battery said 12.2v. no idea how long battery was disconnected. Put battery on noco for 3 full days. Battery was replaced 19 weeks ago. So no long term experience yet. Battery will see the noco for 3-5 days anytime dome light does not come on or every 3rd to 4 month whichever comes first. Prior to my Maverick hybrid I had a gas Honda CRF which would eat a battery in 28-34 months do to the way they delayed charging battery until ice was up to temp. When I started putting my noco on it every 3-4 months the last battery was still going strong at about 64 months. I have never had my Maverick fail to start but have seen no dome light ,2-3 times in 39,000 miles.

Wear a foil helmet if your within 15ft. This is happening to XL and XLT's that don't have all the keyfob bs. It's more than that but no one, as of yet has a solution other than driving in circles or being your truckletts personal battery monitor.
