@REV745DH24 - Most late model vehicles, from cars and trucks to side by sides and more, have become very fickle when it comes to adequate voltage. It's important to either drive a vehicle regularly or keep a battery maintainer on it.

Glad you're not having issues anymore!
Most German cars in fact.
VW in particular.
Finicky little things they are.

Nice work. Full charge and Maintainer is the crucial to avoid any voltage issues if not a daily driver.

Hell just opening the Ford app pings the car
Exactly! Have my DH on a charger, so many electronics.

I retired from the Ford battery supplier at and one of the requirements was that the car had to start after sitting for 45 days. Ford would give us the draw number and then let replicate that draw, for 45 days and if it was too high, the vehicle would get a bigger battery or the architecture people’s would have to find a way to reduce the draw.
