Dead Battery Issues in 13 LS460 F sport
I've had the car about 4 months now and the battery has died twice. Both times it was after the car had sat for about 6 days. Would anyone know a possible reason why my battery is draining down after 6 days of the car being parked?

Do you think your Lexus guy in Rockville can do the software update mentioned by SharksCity or is that a factory Lexus trip?

I'm now having the same issue: Battery dead or nearly so after sitting for five days. Did Lexus update this under warranty or under goodwill? Is there a TSB on this that you know of?
Thanks!

So just to update the post, I have contacted Lexus of Towson and they will be performing the Technical Service Information Bulletin L-SB-0061-13. Per the rep that I spoke to, it will take about an hour and cost $140 if your car is outside of the warranty period.

I just experienced the same issue yesterday on my 2013 LS after being on vacation for 12 days. I thought maybe it was related to forgetting to unplug my car charger before I left or if it maybe it was related to the Grom VLine 2 that's installed. I had it jump started and it seems fine today but AAA was concerned that it needed a "professional charge". My local indy shop thought it should be fine after running for 20 min after the jump start. Mine is out of warranty but I'm pretty sure it's not the original battery. I'll wait to see if I have further issues.
