Maximum Time without using the car (battery issue)

[liben96]

Hi guys,

There are a couple of posts talking about 'warning battery issue', and I am one of those affected.
I dont know if the problem is the battery, a specific module or a software update.

The reality is that if i dont use the car for 3-4 days, I get the warning message. Once I drive it for a few minutes, it dissapears...

The dealer already charged it and told me that if it happens again, they will report it and change it under guarantee.

Is there any specific upgrade (on Topix) for this problem?

I would like to know what is the maximum time that you have been without using the car?

I have read that people with the Evoque or Discovery have been up to 5 weeks...

Thanks

My max is 2 weeks.
At some point during that time the susbsystem that supports remote climate starting shut down. When I tried to use it, my remote app displayed a message along the lines of "to preserve battery life, remote starting has been disabled."

I believe it shuts down after a few days. You can program it to wake up, if you’re away longer & know when you will return.

Thanks. 2 weeks is not too bad.
Mine shows the 'low battery' warning after a few (5-6) days.

It has already been charged, but still showing the message. I have read many that many people is complaining about this... and I am not sure if this is something that can be fixed via update (topix bulletin) ???

I did not use my P300 (10 months old) for 6 weeks and it started immediately with no battery warnings.

I have a tracker (Vodafone My Car Connected) and Im not sure if that could be the problem.

Im aware that many people here also have tracker installer installed in their cars...

Are you aware of this issue? Does someone with access to Topix can confirm if there is any bulletin talking about this issue?

Thanks

Did you double lock the car or single lock? Double lock does activate the interior alarm sensors. Maybe they consume energy?

[liben96]

Single lock.

Our term of non usage of our Velar also 2 weeks, after that the message about low battery appears.
If you have this issue try to buy and use a decent charger - I use CTEK for my Velar and motorbike during winter or summer if I do not use it for 10 days or more. I have noticed that many dealers use this gadget as well while cars stay at the showrooms.
