I searched the threads but looking for whats normal re: Battery saver

[MJL]

My 23 hybrid Lariat only goes a couple days before it goes into battery saver mode, not certain but last time it went into sleep mode it took about 2 weeks as I was out of town ( sleep mode seems to be what you are seeing as a norm ...couple weeks). I'm looking for the norm for the battery saver....seems like a couple or 3 days is really a short time for it to go onto this mode. Would appreciate what everyone is seeing and advice on if this is a problem.

Also has anyone had the map update done by dealer when they went in for recall software and did they charge you. I've tried numerous times to get it loaded via download and usb with no luck

Common issue, many of us think the battery is too small or of low quality. They all seem to be made in either Spain or China, and both have the issue. (Mine is Spain, but have seen others state their battery in made in China). - I think it's the very short reserve coupled with a rather low rate of charge, and the fact state of charge is limited to around 80% max to 'extend battery life' by the BMS (Battery Monitoring System).

Once my brothers back at work, I'll take mine up and see if they'll replace the battery, as it was fine for 4 months, and now tends to not hold a charge much over 55-60%. (I installed a battery monitor and am keeping track on my phone). Even connected a smart-charger, brought it 100% and by morning it was down to below 60%, but doesn't drop that fast below 60%.

Turning off automatic updates, and then turning off wifi in the settings may help. Do it in that order, if you turn off wifi before automatic updates, the update setting sometimes turns wifi back on.

Well looks like it went to deep sleep after 3 days, just returned from a 400 mile trip on Sat and weds in deep sleep, guessing I might have a bad battery then?......thoughts?
Not much else I hate more than having to take it in to dealer

I just love buying a new truck after all these years and the one I get has battery issues. do other limited hybrids like the Prius have the same problem?

Our 2014 Prius has never given us a battery problem other than the vanity mirror lamp being left on causing a dead battery a couple of years ago. Our Prius usually sits a week or ten days at a time as it's primarily my wife's vehicle and we usually drive my vehicle except on trips. OE 12V battery was replaced with another Toyota battery at four years of age by first owner. We acquired shortly after and battery is still going without problems.

This resolved the Deep Sleep issues with my ‘22 Hybrid.

Toyota actually knows how to build cars. Ford? After my 23 Maverick turns into a boat anchor, I'll replace it with a Toyota.

We're not giving up the Prius anytime soon, only had the '24 Maverick 10 days, but am optimistic about some real changes as I've heard no clickety, click or other sounds that seem to plague earlier models. I know there are many other items, let hope Ford has finally addressed them on the '24 models.
