Leaving my new Premium at airport for a week…any reason to worry?

[Thunderbuck]

….about the 12V battery being dead when I return? The HVB will be at about 50% when we leave it.

Literally just did this week before last. Maybe... 1% loss?

Just read this post, it will tell you what you need to know to be properly prepared.
It's long, very long, but full of good info.

Cats! A parking lot pet delivered babies on my battery diaper. 4 made it home. But it smelled horrible for a few weeks and had to take it apart to clean it

We left our 2023 Premium AWD unplugged in our garage with an 80% charge for five weeks during our winter trip to Puerto Vallarta. Came home and it was still in the high 70's and started with no problems. I wouldn't sweat it, with a good SOC

Similarly. I recently left my 2022 GT parked under my carport for 5 weeks. Spent the first few weeks panicking about whether I’d be able to get in when I got back. I left it at 91% SOC per the FordPass website. After 3 weeks it was down to ~60% at which point it went into deep sleep (I think) and gave no more updates. Got back last Sunday after Ford removed the 12v battery SOC. Needless to say, I was concerned even though by my calculation it should have been at 40% or better, but it opened fine.

Turn off your OTA update schedule!

Turn off your OTA update schedule!

Why?

Why?

It kills the lvb.

It kills the lvb.

In 3-1/2 years, I haven’t seen that. Maybe just lucky?

You may want to go to the AP Website Parking page to see if they have EV charging spots available. You never know...there may be one avaialble.

Yeah, that would be considerate ; he said he needs to leave it for a week.

Nope. I have left mine a few times and no issues
