Probably your battery is near dead.
Also F150 pickup trucks are about $60K when loaded with options. Those guys are free spenders compared to commuter car drivers.
- CamperBob2 11y agoThat's not how it works. By design, there is still plenty of capacity left in the battery when the car's computer shuts down the accessories. The accessory draw is enough to lower the (indicated) terminal voltage from about 12.6 volts to about 12.0 in 15-30 minutes, depending on what accessories are actually turned on.
- rm-rfU 11y agoMy car has a timer that shuts things down after 15min (or so). Regardless of battery voltage.
- yellowapple 11y ago> Also F150 pickup trucks are about $60K when loaded with options. If you buy new. The parent commenter specifically mentioned a '98 F150. Personally, though, I'm interested in one of these for my Blazer for the cold-temperature performance alone. If the lower power capacity is an issue, I could always just carry around my jumpbox.
