Actually, the first gen 2 NX came out in early 2022 and Lexus has had more than 2 1/2 years to fix. Do you have different information that Lexus is going to fix? If so, when?

The current Lexus Corporate Answer appears to be "There is nothing wrong with your car except you don't drive it enough".

Peace and thanks for "your" contributions.


YMMV,

This is still a work in progress. After the warranty replacement of the original accessory battery, we're still having rapid battery drain. So, I'll definitely be following up with the dealer about root causes/underlying issues.

Yes. I got a Noco 2 amp charger and have been charging at the jump block under hood. The routing out of the car in a way my wife wouldn't object to is a goal. Another goal is to see how others tackle this problem that apparently is so common to us.

Thanks, that's reassuring as I feel I'm on that path.

This is what I use to keep my battery fresh while away on a trip and left at the airport.

And how well does it work for you, do you know? Being inside the car one would assume that the windshield blocks a lot, and you panel would be better if it was outside but hey what do I know
