Hey! Did this ever stop showing for you? Did it end up being more than that?

I've had it to the dealership once and here is the write up from the service team. They didn't have it long enough to replicate the issue, but they did see something that needed fixing apparently. Whatever they did, it didn't affect the issue. Still happens if the car sits for two days.
Hasn't been started for 6 days, but this time the warning message did not appear! Because of course it didn't.
The tech checked the battery and the charging system and found no faults, other than the battery is possibly low on charge. That seems a little strange to me seeing as the two prior drives were 2 hours each.
Anyway, I have a CTEK charger coming this week so we will see if a few days on the charger puts an end to the problem.
CTEK solved all my electrical strange warning issues and software update issues. Keeps batteries (2 in my 2023 Defender 90 Trophy) charged at peak. No issues at all since I use it every night.
