Completely DEAD!!

If you park within 100' of where your phone is.... I'd suggest turning off either Bluetooth, or force-stop Fordpass, to let your Pony sleep.

Give me a break ... you don't need to do this and I guarantee that 99% of owners who park in a garage don't do this. The car should be topping off a low LVB unless something is wrong. It has nothing to do with PaaK. Additionally, the car will only wake a few times before it ignores the device (I think it's 5 times). It won't indefinitely wake the car.

This guy has an issue with either the battery or the DC/DC charger, not with his phone, bluetooth or key fobs. I don't disable PaaK, I run a bluetooth battery monitor and an always on dashcam from the LVB and I've never had an issue. When the battery gets low I get a notification and the car tops it off using the HVB, as it should.

Let's leave the PTSD from the 2020 LVB fiasco behind us. That was 3 years ago.

Tell us how you really feel. Lol

I made an appointment to take it to Ford tomorrow.

Took it to Ford today. They hooked it up to the “warranty battery tester” and found no fault. They offered to do a deeper dive but it meant leaving the car there for a week, minimum, before a tech could look at it. So I just brought it home but they said to call if it glitches out again.

That's strange... My guess would be it's the car, but I would have thought that a fault would be present. Maybe chalk it up as a anomaly and hope it doesn't happen again?

As I mentioned before, I was getting low 12v battery all the time from time to time. I use PAAk and my wife uses FOB. I took it to dealer and they couldn’t find anything.

I turned off wake up lights at the recommendation of someone from this forum and haven’t had the issue in several months

I’m going with watchful waiting for now. I hope I don’t regret it, I love the car otherwise.

The low 12v battery notice is actually a good thing if you know why it's happening. It reaffirms that the car is doing it's job properly. Even in the notice it states that if you are expecting the drain it's okay, but if it's happening unexpectedly to schedule a service.

This case is different because there was no notice, which would indicate the car didn't do it's job. If I were to stop getting notified I would be worried... I get these notices all the time because of the devices I have running.

I had no idea why I was getting12v battery low as I don’t have any devices running

For sure those led lights will suck that 100 kWh battery empty in no time. Even faster when it is plugged in to a 240v feed. Don’t come within a 100 feet of it with your phone helps also.

Car should have the juice to maintain that little 12v. Just needs to be smart enough to do it. Don’t fear the car.

What LVB voltage triggers the message / top-off?

No fear of the car, guess my car isn’t smart enough to top off the 12v (according to warnings) and the dealer wasn’t smart enough to find out why that was happening

If I remember correctly it's 12.2v

I don't have any logs saved and my car is still at the dealership. I can confirm when I have it back and can pull the data.

Why’s it at the dealer?

Why’s it at the dealer?

Faulty oil pump, water leaking into the interior, rear end vibration, trunk opening on it's own and a few other issues. Been there since March 15th.
