12v battery keeps going dead

[milepost1]

Have 2022 GT 20k miles. Since the last update 12v battery has gone dead 2x this week. I had a FE that had issue which was nerve racking until fixed. Nothing changed other than update. Wondering if anyone else having issues. I have obd plugged in, iPad, and camera. If I forget to turn them off have gotten battery drain warning but charged battery.

It could be 'time'. depending on how often the car is driven more than 30 minutes. From what I saw on my SOC of the 12v it took about 20 to 30 min of driving to return to the SOC it was at at the beginning of the drive ac/lights/acc's etc on draining while driving.

Try starting the car and leaving it running in the garage for an hour or two. If you have a cig lighter voltage thing or a voltage reader take a reading at the battery (if you are daring or already have the cover off) of from the cig lighter in the console or trunk. Couple hours later take a reading again. If it's shedding voltage there's something draining or a bad cell(s). Ideally you'd pull the negative battery terminal and take the reading at the battery. If it's gone below 10.5 volts more than once (i.e. dead) it's damaged and wont hold a charge for very long at all. The update might be helping it along if it makes more communications to the mother ship.
