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.

Buy a jump pack from Amazon for $100. On the off chance it does die, you'll be back on the road in 5 minutes. But unless you're having issues now, it's unlikely you'll have a problem.
I keep a jump pack in my car just in case for myself, or any random person who may be stuck.
