Battery Management Warning

Anyone with any equipment hooked to the ODB ever get this error message? I have a Blackvue 900s plugged into the ODB port with a timer cut-off of 12.5V and 6 hours. If I don't drive the car for over 24 hours I'm greeted with this message. Trying to decide if I need to turn parking mode off to prevent any long term damage.

I get this with my hardwired dashcam too. For now I have turned off parking mode as it is annoying, but I am probably going to pick up a dashcam battery to use instead of the car battery.

I may go the battery route as well I suppose. I wonder if the voltage cutoff isn't working correctly or if the car is really sensitive to the battery draining.

The car detects the unexpected battery draw, I dont think voltage is dropping too low. My battery saver is on the safest setting and never shuts off. My F06 showed a similar message that mentioned the draw IIRC.

Good to know, that's what I've been trying to figure out since I have the voltage cutoff and timer set on the most conservative setting.
