[QUOTE="Just_in_time, post: 1628816, member: 31547"] I was gone for 3 months - my 2019 Raptor sat in the garage the whole time - I forgot to put a battery tender on it. I bought the truck new March 2019 - hence the battery was less than 2 years old. when I got back the truck was dead - I measured the battery with a DVM with the battery disconnected from the truck and it read 3.0 volts. It was the stock factory battery. The Ford app had been showing the truck as being in deep sleep. Based on this I would either place a battery tender on it while gone or simply disconnect the positive lead from the battery post. the battery tender is the best option IMO- lead acid batteries love to be trickle charged…. I bought the Ford Performance battery tender for the truck and it was unable to recover the battery. I ended up buying a new Motorcraft AGM battery from the dealer and installed it myself. The remove and replace process was super easy. [/QUOTE]
