2013 Ford Explorer XLT
Sorry if this has been asked before, I used search but was not able to find the answer...

I installed a dashcam and have a cigarette lighter hub with a few USB devices. What I've noticed is that the dashcam and whatever is plugged into the cigarette lighter stays powered on.

I will be away from the explorer for about 2 or 3 weeks, just wondering if the explorer has a mechanism where it will cut power eventually to the cigarette lighter, etc. if it senses it is getting to low to start the vehicle? Or will it continue to drain the battery to 0 leaving me to jump start the vehicle?

I have a '13 XLT
