Phantom drain tracking

Find Tesla phantom drain every time you park.

Wake up to less battery? VoltKeep helps you track parked battery loss and spot patterns before they become surprises.

Before fixing phantom drain, measure it

Sentry Mode, Cabin Overheat Protection, poor LTE reception, preconditioning, and third-party polling can all wake the car. VoltKeep records parked battery loss so you can tell normal standby loss from a pattern worth investigating.
