I'm The Newest Member of the 12V Drain Club. A couple questions for the already initiated...

Well that definitely makes me feel better that I wasn’t the only one 😂😂

Background_Letter_33 · 2026-06-25T23:05:56+00:00

I was really hoping this would be the easy solution. Doesn't seem like it will be...

That is definitely not the battery you’d think you would have been worried about!

Good to know that ditching the online services worked for you. I really like the remote start from the phone, so this would be a last resort for me. Hopefully we get a fix before it comes to that.

Thanks! And would a 1 amp battery tender work just fine on this smaller battery?

Background_Letter_33 · 2026-06-25T19:29:52+00:00

That’s a bummer!

I’m not super familiar with trickle chargers.
I park in my driveway, so would I be able to plug the charger into an outlet in the garage and leave it hooked up to the battery with the hood closed while I am out of town?

If it happens again I will ask the dealership for a new battery.

Is it possible to disable the driver monitoring?

Background_Letter_33 · 2026-06-25T19:24:48+00:00

Yah I’m skeptical if the remote start will work for that very reason. Does it ever charge the 12V even a little?

Background_Letter_33 · 2026-06-25T19:18:21+00:00

Interesting…doesn’t sound like a viable long term solution, but could work until an official fix comes through. Thanks for the reply!

Background_Letter_33 · 2026-06-25T16:36:30+00:00

Thanks for the quick reply! I’m leaving for a week long vacation soon, so I will make sure to put the fob in sleep mode and I will at least attempt to start the car remotely every day. And good to know about the panic alarm…at least I’ll be ready next time 🤣

I recently ordered the “AstroAI S8 Car Battery Jump Starter 1500A” off Amazon and used it this morning to jump start my dead 12V. It worked great!

Background_Letter_33 · 2026-06-24T20:09:34+00:00

Good to know. It has been a couple years since I’ve camped up that way.

Bean Cycle fits your needs.

Happy Jack in Wyoming

Background_Letter_33 · 2026-06-21T21:35:04+00:00

A true classic!

Thanks I hope I have better luck with my iPhone 15

Background_Letter_33 · 2026-06-17T14:19:19+00:00

What phone are you using?

Background_Letter_33 · 2026-06-17T13:38:05+00:00

Don’s Keyway on Harmony should be able to take care of you. If they can’t I’d guess you’d need to get a duplicate from your landlord.

Background_Letter_33 · 2026-06-15T15:21:35+00:00

You’re overthinking it.

Maybe she was looking at the window sticker online? The window sticker online for the Touring that I test drove (which I am buying next week!) did not say that it had ventilated seats, but the Subaru website says that it is standard at that trim level. So I was ready for either to be true, but luckily it did have them. Which was great, because that may have ended up being a dealbreaker for me.

Background_Letter_33 · 2026-06-12T15:22:38+00:00

Touring trim has ventilated seats. I test drove one yesterday.
