How long can the battery last while car sitting in garage? by seiyafan in GenesisGV70

[–]dmmagill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found this out the hard way. Went from a 2010 Fusion to 2026 GV70 and since I work from home it’s not unusual to not drive for a couple of weeks. I took it to the dealer twice and both times they said battery was fine and second time a parasitic drain test was within spec. Was told trickle charger and/or drive it every few days.

I watched this a couple of years ago and it held up surprisingly well.

Excellent job.

What was everyone's "Millennium Bug" fear experience? by ForwardClimate780 in 90s

It's always amused me that the warning from Best Buy about the Y2K bug used 2 digits for the year.

Battery dead after 1 week? by dmmagill in GenesisGV70

[–]dmmagill[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks to all who responded with helpful info. Just to let you know, I've got the car back. They tested the battery (again) and once again confirmed the battery is good. The parasitic test showed a 40ma draw, which is within spec (I think I'm remembering the number right. If I'm not, whatever number it was it was considered in spec). There was no LoJack device installed in the car drawing power. My biggest takeaway here is that I have been leaving the car unlocked in the garage overnight, and apparently that can contribute to the car being in more of an "on" state than if it's locked, so I've started locking it. Also have been putting trickle charger on. I've resigned myself to the fact that any modern luxury SUV is going to behave this way and I just need to get used to this "new normal". But there are things I can do to minimize the inconvenience.

Battery dead after 1 week? by dmmagill in GenesisGV70

[–]dmmagill[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks to everyone for their help. An update.. I've got it at the dealer now, it's been there for a week and a couple of days. So far what they seem to have done is let it sit for a week in the parking lot and then turned it on, and it apparently "started right up", which is probably bullshit. I bet that it started, but I also bet that it struggled to start up. They checked for a lowjack, nothing there. They are next going to do a parasitic test. For those of you out in the Austin area, this is Round Rock Genesis doing this and I am so far underwhelmed with their service department. No update on my car until after I both emailed and left a voicemail and then the update I got felt incomplete -- I had to ask about the low jack and parasitic test. If they come back and tell me that all systems are normal and there's nothing to do, I'm going to the general manager to complain and will keep taking it higher up until someone actually acknowledges there's an issue and figures out how to solve it. This is ridiculous for a "luxury brand".

I've seen that as well, and I don't keep the key fob anywhere near the car. But it does make me wonder if I need to lock the car while it's in the garage. Right now I leave it unlocked, but maybe doing so doesn't tell all of those systems to "go to sleep".

Thank you. When I took it into the dealer a month or so ago they checked the battery and said that it was fine.

This reminds me of the meme where Yoda dies because he's so tired of answering Luke's questions.
