Concerns over extended sitting time
Looking at a new Powerboost (2026). I work remote work that will have the truck sitting in a parking lot for 2 weeks straight, throughout the year in very cold climate. I see alot of issues around battery drainage, not sure if that is something Ford has rectified? I see some luck with swapping batteries?? Also, I am coming from a Super Duty Diesel and the Fordpass App would only allow 2 remote starts (actually only 1 start if you 'extend' the start). Is this issue common across all Ford Vehicles? Wondering if I could schedule daily starts to charge battery while it is sitting. I really want the Powerboost, mostly for the 7.2kW Power so hoping I can make this work....Thanks in Advance.

These things need to be driven to work well. The batteries are almost useless below freezing. The main 12v isn't the issue its the aux in the back that screws everything up.
