Asked by GuruFJSQT May 08, 2020 at 06:46 AM about the 2019 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid XLE AWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Toyota rav4 2019 6000 miles. With car not
being driven much at present battery going
flat within 3 days. No confidence in car now.
Not much information from Toyota about
this

1 Answer

The RAV4 has a 12V LN! battery with a 20 hour 45Ah rating most cars have bigger batteries. They claim that one hour after closing and locking the doors a residual current of 0.04-0.06A keeps various electronics working. Clearly something isn't shutting down or staying shut down as they expect in many cars - perhaps a software fault ??? A dealer recommended disconnecting the battery if the car was left for any longer periods ..... hardly an elegant solution.
