Remote features disabled on ford pass to preserve battery

[Scupking]

Update with my experiment. Got in the truck today after it’s been sitting for a week. To my surprise the interior lights and dash all came on when I opened the door! So it seems turning off all the connectivity options and Wi-Fi worked! Hopefully that will be the end of deep sleep for me.

Example of a 5 min drive. However, I did have the vehicle on the trickle charger in the afternoon (shows full) and went for 5 short trips around the city, this is roughly 24h later. My NOCO G7200 was attached to the battery and after the BMS sensor. Could be failing and thinks the battery is full, need to check.

Note the SoC is at 60%, it was 59% when I first started the truck.

Tested the battery at 700CCA (not sure if it's correct), aftermarket batteries are 760CCA. Tester showed 625CCA and to recharge the battery.

I asked if remote features disabled is common and they said it's due to the cold weather. We've had a few patches of -39C/-38.2F to now - 19C/-2.2F. While it's understandable, I laughed and asked if charging the battery to 80% is normal too, which was yes.

They also added you're lucky you don't have a Mach-E as if the 12V battery dies your shit out of luck shifting out of park. Dealers solution is owners need to carry a jump/booster pack.

They are telling you cold weather is the problem? B.S. I live in Hawaii. My year old Maverick has never seen a temperature below 66 degrees Fahrenheit. It goes into "Remote Features Disabled" everyday! Just had it in to the dealer last week. They said there is nothing wrong with it.

Have you tried resetting the BMS?

I reset mine on 1/16/2023 and haven't gotten the Deep Sleep message since.

Then stand on one foot, pat head 5 times with right hand while simultaniously rubbing belly in a circular motion with the left hand.

Tha won't work. You have to be able to reach the pedals. A contortionist maybe could reach while doing a handstand, but ... not gonna happen with me.

I did not read through the rest of this thread. So, I’m sure I’m just repeating redundant statements.

I’ve owned my truck since February 2022. I’m the Original owner.

I’m at 59,600 miles.

My battery now consistently drops below 12 V after about 15 minutes of the truck being turned off. While I’m posting this, my battery is already down to 11.6 V. At this point my dash cam turns itself off to preserve battery. It has dropped down to 11.2 V the last couple weeks when I got in the vehicle before starting.
I live in San Diego, it’s not too cold here.

There are quite a few of accessories in the Mav that stay on for about 15 minutes or so after you leave the vehicle.

Just like mentioned Above , all of the other accessories that can be turned off, does help a bit.
I have a aftermarket amplifier, and a dash cam with parking mode that stays on all the time with the Smartwire kit it does drain the battery more than usual.

These batteries seem to only last about a year and a half to two years before they start dropping below OEM recommended voltages during vehicle standby.

I’ll update after replacing my battery and continuing my same routine.

I replaced my OEM battery with a proper AGM battery and this seems to have resolved this issue. Time will tell, but I'm fairly sure already based on the voltages that I see.

So My truck is at the dealer for this and the recall, let see if they fix it or give me so bs answer like when I dropped it off.
