Adventureboy replied to the thread Bigger front battery?.True for flooded lead-acid batteries. For AGM batteries, slightly less than fully charged is better as it reduces the risk of burning...
-
My understanding is that the lead acid battery longest life is attained by keeping it fully charged. Shame if Ford is not doing that...
-
Adventureboy replied to the thread Bigger front battery?.Yes departure time might work but it seems silly to jump hoops like that. The LVB discharges are down to about 40% SOC before the truck...

Adventureboy replied to the thread Poll: Do you use PAAK or Key fob for daily use?.I wouldn't leave it in the truck. It won't work but if someone finds out you have it in the truck, a quick smash and they are driving...

Adventureboy replied to the thread Bigger front battery?.That would be similar to stepping from the H3 to the H4. They are the same price and still more expensive than the more popular, higher...

Adventureboy replied to the thread Bigger front battery?.Yes you are right, my LVB is bad - this is the 2nd one in 30 months and 100% due to my irregular driving schedule. I can get a week or...

Adventureboy replied to the thread Bigger front battery?.Unfortunately, this only works if you drive daily. It doesn't work if you don't.

If you don't program a trailer I think it assumes worst case scenario. I just select "no active trailer".

Adventureboy replied to the thread Bigger front battery?.Faster charging is not likely an option. I believe the BMS limits the speed the little H3 battery can receive a charge to keep from...
-
Adventureboy replied to the thread Purchasing my 1st Lightning - a buyback lemon - HELP - service records attached.I'd probably buy it. The screen issue would be the concern. Other items are minor, and appear to be caused by a faulty 12v battery...

Adventureboy replied to the thread Apple iPhone does not charge by cable - wireless charging OK.I have had the ports stop working after an update. I'm not sure if it also took out the wireless pad too. I restarted the Sync system...

Adventureboy replied to the thread F150 lighting fast charge while away from home.If you want to open your options to include the Tesla V3 and V4 Superchargers for DC Fast Charging, you will need an adapter. Ford now...
-
Adventureboy replied to the thread Ticking from 12v battery compartment.That would draw down the 12v battery too. Good call.
-
Adventureboy replied to the thread Ticking from 12v battery compartment.I would first look at the 12v battery. If it is below 12v after driving the truck, that is suspect. It should be 12.5v or higher...

Adventureboy replied to the thread New BlueCruise Version 1.4 - Rollout March 2025.It took a couple of weeks but Ford seemed to fix it over the weekend. The update went in last night so I'll be testing BC 1.4 this week.

Adventureboy replied to the thread Bearing noise/rotational noise @ 24,000 miles.Super quiet at 31,000 miles and my hearing is pretty tuned to mechanical issues.

Adventureboy replied to the thread Whose truck worked great today?.I've owned trucks for 40 years. Best truck yet by a fair margin as long as you don't have to tow long distances. 28 months and counting.

Adventureboy replied to the thread After the last update (window / door update) I noticed my doors locking on their own..I got it with the front sensor CSP. I believe you can add the toggles with Forscan. Seems silly Ford hasn't added the toggles yet...

Your battery would be much happier if you kept it in the 80ish percent range, unless you had a long trip to take right after that short...

My truck is awesome. This is the best truck I have ever owned. The cool thing for me is that i have only owned it in cold weather and...

Maybe it was trying to check for updates or some other process that required power.

Apply the brakes in an affirmative manner. If the noise persists after this inspect them or have someone inspect them.

Adventureboy replied to the thread Charging Volvo PHEV from F150?.The 6-20 running 16 amp EVSE will do 3.5kw to the battery. That is 5 1/2 hours from completely empty to full on the 18.8kw battery. I...
