I have seen some posts of people having problems after parking for more than a couple of days. I am going to be going on a tour that starts in another city, so I will be parking my new RX-450h for about a two week period. Will I be coming back to a dead battery? What systems should I turn off when I leave to preserve the battery power while I am gone? Or should I see if I can leave it at the Lexus dealer?
Thanks for your help.

Leave it at home. If it doesn't start when you get home, call Lexus to come and start it. I would never leave my car at a Dealer for two weeks without a work order. I doubt they would take responsibility for it without a work order. Chances are it will start. Have a great trip!

But I want to drive the new car on this road trip from So Cal to the Rockies.

The 1 800 number for Lexus works anywhere. They will send someone to start your car if required. I really doubt that it won't start due to being parked for a week or so. Now go and enjoy your trip and don't worry about your car!

i have 3 different Lexus RXh hybrid and a GSh hybrid which tend to be garage queen back and forth for 3-4 weeks, no issue with battery,

the older GSh however, has issue with the anti-roll bar motor battery being flat and gave error message, other than that they all been solid

consider getting a float charger, either plug in or solar powered depending on where you park.

Start it remotely using enform app if you are worried. I wouldn't be worried for a short two-week trip.

Unless you battery is defective it should be able to go two weeks without use with ease.

I will be gone for more than a month. I usually put a trickle charger on my cars while I am gone in the motor home. Does the rx450H have a starting battery? Where is it? Should I try to hook up a trickle charger while I am gone? Help.

trunk area is the location.
sure toss one on, if you have one. can't hurt.

battery tender or ctek or something decent, hate to boil the battery with a poor quality one.
