2015 Fiat 500E Battery Draining

[DieYoungStrong]

Hi folks. New to the forum,
So I just picked up this used 2015 Fiat 500e last two weeks ago, and I'm running into a bit of a battery pickle. It’s draining about 1% per hour, even when it’s just chilling in the parking spot with the key totally out of the picture. I swapped out the 12V battery and tried a couple of things, but no luck so far.
Has anyone else had this happen or know how to tackle it? I could really use some advice here!

Thanks in advance.

Have you tried recalibrating the battery percentage? It might help with the issue you’re facing. Also, what happens while you’re driving? Is the battery percentage dropping faster per mile?

I haven’t messed around with recalibrating the battery yet. How do you even go about that?

Hey, so I've been driving a Fiat 500e, and let me tell you, these things are pretty much all the same no matter the year. I haven't had to do a single bit of maintenance besides changing the tires, and the range is still holding strong.

Now, there's a catch. If something major goes wrong with the battery or the electric drive system, you might be in trouble. Finding someone who knows how to fix them can be tough.

But honestly? This has been the best $11,000 I've ever spent on a car. Even if it completely dies tomorrow, I've still gotten incredible value for my money with all the miles I've put on it.

That’s hilarious...It’s like you’ve found the secret to EV happiness, minimal maintenance and maximum value. If it dies tomorrow, at least you’ve squeezed every penny out of it.
