Another Hibernation Thread

[Metal Geezer]

I’m used to my truck hibernating.
30k Km’s over almost 3 years says it sits in the driveway a lot.
First time I’ve seen this message though….

Thing is, the key is not in the ignition.
Anyone dealt with this before?

My Ranger is just over 3 years old with only 6100 miles on it. I saw that screen once. I started the Ranger and took it for a ride. Now I charge it now and again with a Battery Tender charger. I haven't seen that message since.

Thanx for this. Going to have the battery tested next week, then pop a charger on it for a while.

Mine will do this when it hits 12V at rest. Do not need ignition, just get in and sit there. Display will initiate and then that will appear and it goes back to sleep. Tender time!

In English..."either drive the dam truck or plug in trickle charger"...

Well, I suppose there’s that.

Update:
I put a charger on it overnight and yes, all my weirdness went away (the trucks, not mine. That’s another thread entirely).
Kept my service appointment and the batt indeed needs to be replaced…when they have stock.
