So, I was sitting in the garage, getting familiar with my new F. Checking out the Nav and had some music going on in the background. And somewhere between 5 and 10 minutes, the music stop. I was like, WTF! So I open the garage door, and start her up, and nothing!! Seriously, it dies that fast!!
So I managed to roll her out of the garage, and boosted it with my wife's SUV. Started up fine, and great, now I have another excuse to go for a spin. Drove around for about 30 minutes. Stopped it and left it for about 10 minutes. Got back in and started up fine.
Is that normal? under 10 minutes with the accessories on will kill the battery? I am wondering if the battery is weak? This is a new left over 2008, so the car has done more sitting than driving for a while. I am thinking I need to go back to my dealer and request a new battery? What do you guys think?
