I put mine into the barn and started it every two weeks. I started this process in November and only got to early December here in Canada.
I couldn't even unlock the doors. When I did pop the hood it was down to 6 volts.
I had all the same messages on my app also.
I then took it out of the engine bay into the heated garage and it took a week to bring it back up to fully charged. I gave up on the start and move advice and just keep a trickle charger on it to March or so. Hopefully it's good for when it comes out.

As mentioned, this is normal programming after 2 weeks without driving.

All, Just to close the loop on this thread. So the Stang has been sitting outside for a week and a half, at least, in single digit temperatures (F) . Covered in snow and literally buried in the driveway. Wifey and I have been driving the 24 VW Atlas AWD, pretty impressive in snow I might add.

So yesterday I got brave and more or less cleared the snow around the stang. She has been in battery saver mode for all of this time.
Started her and she fired right up. Went for a 45 mile highway trip and per the display battery charging voltage started at 15.0 vdc but dropped to 14.5 and car runs fine. So battery seems fine. It was the extreme cold weather but even still she never failed to start and run! Lessons learned!
Now when is the weather going to get better here in NY ?

Cheers!
