Battery life when parked too long

[Deanrd52]

I recently acquired a 2024 F150 Lariat SC 3.5 eco. After reading about battery life I got concerned. I left it in NH when we went to Florida on 3/18. Yesterday 5/8 I had my neighbor remote start it and it started with no issues. Truck goes into sleep mode after a day or 2 and fordpass loses communication which I find odd. I can only remote start it twice while idle without using remote or pushbutton. I thought it might be a problem while gone but it's lasted 7 weeks so I don't see any problems going forward, I originally thought I could use fordpass to run it once a month, but 15min limit isn't enough anyway. Better not to run for condensation.

I hope your results are the same. I might set it up for flat towing and then not leave it home and be sad.

I believe that you can only remote start the truck twice before you have to get in and start it.
I would install a Noco 5 or 10 and leave it plugged in when your away or not going to use the truck for an extended period of time. Many on this forum have installed them.
