chl replied to the thread Thanks, Ford, for 7.2 kW Pro Power Onboard PPO.Yep, you're right. In fact all the 12ov seem to be 20A, the frunk, and the cabin too.

The 120v outlets in the bed are definitely 20a style.

-
chl replied to the thread Thanks, Ford, for 7.2 kW Pro Power Onboard PPO.OOPS, my bad, they ARE 20A outlets. Also, the 120V receptacles are not apparently 20A type, so I'd assume a 15A limit on them individually.

It's probably wise to not put too much faith in the LVB SoH from the BMS since there isn't one being reported.
