Awhile ago I was looked to compare how much a Chinese auto worker gets per hour compared to the UAW to build those "inexpensive" cars. Chinese worker vs UAW with benefits. No I am not a UAW member.
I've always wondered what happens if you put solar panels on your roof and one day need a new roof. Who takes off the panels, reinstalls them after the new roof is installed
and confirms everything works correctly after the new roof.
I believe I agree with you. Wouldn't it have been wonderful if Ford had designed in a "battery tender" type system. If the drive battery can supply power to an entire house for days imagine how long it could trickle charge its own 12 volt battery even if the truck wasn't plugged in. If you were...
If I use a battery tender the 12v will always be charged and I wont have to worry about it. If the battery goes dead/bad and I follow Ford instructions I have to get the frunk open,crawl into the frunk to pull the battery cover to connect a charger. Or release multiple retainers to remove the...
Thanks Chi. I think we all know the best thing for long term storage on a normal 12volt battery is something like a Battery Tender. We sometimes go away in the Winter and leave the truck plugged in inside the garage. After hearing stories on this site about sometimes OA updates might not go thru...
I want to route my battery tender leads thru the area of the charge door. I will hard wire the leads to the correct battery connection points. I can't see what's behind that area so I'm a little concerned about where to drill the hole so I don't cause any damage. Any chance someone has a...
the 12volt battery in the Lightning is the same as an ICE vehicle. Many of us leave a battery tender hooked up to our cars that is in storage over the winter. 6 months. I don't see why it would be different for the Lighting.
Ran across a YouTube video of someone charging the 12V battery in their ICE truck by using the large trailer plug at back of truck. Those plugs have a constant ground and 12 v pins. This guy bought a blank RV style big that plugs into the large plug in the back of the Lightning. He cutoff the...
I think I will just charge it to 50% and leave the 12 battery hooked up but leave a battery tender connected to it. Then just bring it back up to 90% when I get back. Thanks
