2024 Nautilus Hybrid

[tyjbxx]

I live 100 miles from my Lincoln dealer and have been taking my Hybrid to the local Ford dealer. After Ford put in battery # 3 within 10 months, I decided to go to my Lincoln dealer to find out why my vehicle is discharging batteries so fast. After having the car for 3 days, today they told me we're not driving the car enough... 25 miles per day is not sufficient to keep the 12V battery charged. They say the car has so many features that drain the battery that I need to drive more. This seems like an issue Lincoln should have addressed.

Anyone else experience the same thing?

We have a 2025 Hybrid, and haven't had any issues yet. And we drive about 40 miles a day................but don't drive it every day though either. Curious on this.

They are lying to you. Definitely a battery drain issue. Have you had all the updates applied? There were several CSPs for battery drain. I have never had a battery drain issue and even was out of the country for a month. Had mine since Feb 2024.

agree. I believe the dealer is wrong. Have run check all the updates. Cal Lincoln concierge. Image 12,000 miles on my 24 hybrid and average 30 miles per day

We have a 2025 hybrid. Travel typically 30 km a day 3 days a week. And once a week 100km. No issues on ours to date battery wise. Have gone two weeks with it in the garage during a winter vacation. No issues just the normal battery saver mode kicks in around 1 week in.

I may drive once every 3 or 4 days and not experiencing battery drain issues. I will put on charger every few weeks to see how much it is draining but has always charged up quickly. I suspect that software is not up to date or needs to have some reflashed.

I can park at the airport for a couple of weeks and not hit battery saver. Recently went a month without driving it and hit battery saver around the 3rd week.

And that may have been the 14 day inactive automatic battery saver — not a low voltage.

Big B. Big S. They've likely not applied all the CSPs for the vehicle. Check yours here.

FYI, we probably drive 25 miles a week, and our last (and only) low battery event was 16 months ago, when the software fixes were still in work. Since we've had the fixes, no issues whatsoever.
