For those of you that have a voltage indicator plugged into cigarette port

I've been struggling with battery saver and deep sleep mode for some time, it will go BSM mode after sitting for 2 days maybe 3, deep sleep by 3rd day) and yes everything is up to date and I have wifi turned off for now.
Dealer has bench tested battery 3 times and always passes.
My digital volt meter in the aux port always shows 15.3 to 15.5 while driving even on 8 hr trips, never pulls down from there. I verified the voltage at battery with volt meter and they are within 0.3v of each other.
When I turn off truck it reads about 12.3 to 12.5 but within 30 mins its trails down to 11.7.
I'm interested in what others are seeing if you have the digital indication plugged into your lighter plug.
15.3 to 15.5 constant seems odd to me, and trailing off below 12 also seems odd.

Also
I asked in another post and will ask here too.....how long is the cigarette plug stay on for you after truck is turned off?
New it stayed on a pretty long time
After recalls and updates it was turning off when truck is off
Since yesterday it has reverted back to staying on for awhile and nothing has changed

Mine out when open door but if i turn radio on after car off 1 hour then off 1400 miles

Mine says 13.8v when off. I think it was 15.2 or 15.4 when it was running. I imagine my interior lights will quit working before too much longer and then I'll put the battery tender on. Again. For the 3rd time since I got it in July.
My cigarette lighter plug turns off with the truck.

Strange my 22 cig lighter stays on for about an hour before it turns off.

Seems to be one of the major different behaviors bewteen Hybrids and EBs.

Hi there,
My 2023 XL Hybrid since August 2023 never had sleep mode even after more than 3 days in a row staying without driving it. And the temperatures here in Canada are low during the winter.
I think this is related to a bad electrical connection that drains the battery.

Get an AGM battery. Lots written about this in MaverickTruckClub. It's the battery type (non-AGM) that is in your truck (due to a AGM battery shortage when it was being produced 2022-2023 Mavericks) that caused Ford to put in regular batteries that cannot sustain nor react correctly to how the computer charges it.

My original battery started giving me issues within 2 months. Should not happen to a person with a new vehicle. So I read up on all the details and the final solution I found is an AGM battery that matches the software charging system in our trucks. Many have checked wires, circuits, connections, reset the BMS, etc. End result...........AGM Battery.

Yes, the software will charge the battery you now have. But, the cells inside are not built for this type of charging cycle and will eventually shorten the life of your battery. AGM batteries run $75 to $100 dollars (american, not Canadian.....don't know what they run in your neck of the woods) cheaper than the cheap battery you have in your truck.

Save yourself time, frustration and second guessing. Put the words "AGM battery" in the search bar and read about this. 100's of guys in here have come to the same conclusion and have no more issues. Just looking out for you my friend!

Stock, mine use to stay on for up to an hour and a half. Now, after changing the time in Forscan to 30 minutes instead of the stock 75 minutes, it will sometimes go off immediately when I open the door and sometimes stay on for 20 to 30 minutes after opening the door.
