No start

[Tennesseeman]

The Hybrid doesn't have an alternator. It uses a DC-to-DC stepdown converter with the hybrid battery to charge the 12V battery.

Thanks, I was just quoting the service advisor at what they look for with a no start situation. This actually was before I told him it was a hybrid.

Have to wonder if there's another sporatic parasitic drain at play here for 2026?

Truck sat for 1 1/2 days and won't start. Pouring rain so I didn't try and jump. Is this normal for the hybrids after setting for a couple days

I have left my 24 XL Hybrid at airport parking a few times and plan to do it again this week. Never had that problem!

Dealer is only 2 miles from my house, and they haven't looked at it yet. Service advisor said they 12v battery is only showing 15%. Looks like might be getting a new battery. Battery in it is dated 4/26. Don't make them like they used to!

Unfortunately YES, after 4 batteries i never let mine sit more than 1 day. Even after getting an AGM. Might not be necessary but i feel better safe than sorry.

Well, they tested the battery. Had it on the test for 2 1/2 hrs. Battery tested fine. Got it back Monday evening and it seems to be doing fine...until next time. The sales manager, that I have bought from before, told me that if it happened again, they would replace the battery. Got a jump start box to keep in the vehicle just in case.
