Low Battery

[olderbudwiser]

With numerous threads concerning low battery warning. I went out of town for 17 days. Put fob in house no battery tender (2023 Hybrid). Returned home, on 18th day went out for errands inside entry lights would not come on. Put foot on brake vehicle came alive no ice yet just traction battery. Away I went. Interior entry lights work now. No other messages, all good.

I think it drains a lot in the first 75 minutes after parking. Then decides, like a little puppy, "I guess you're not coming back soon" and goes to a low power sleep mode.

I wonder if there is a way to stop this drain during this 75 minute time period...setting in the BMS?

I have been toying when parking truck in garage for days turning off in "Settings" on truck the "Ford Connect" (but then you can't autostart car or see your mileage to make sure kids aren't out joyriding - ha) also gonna play with force stopping the app on my android phone as i read in an article there is concern the app keeps checking in to truck and if it is just sitting makes logical sense battery is power source doing clickity clack work responding would drain battery.
