tearitupsports replied to the thread Sigenergy V2X for the Lightning (and most other EV's). The way bi-directional charging should be!.Solar is totally optional. The Sigenergy inverter is also a solar inverter so you could just add panels down the road.

tearitupsports replied to the thread Sigenergy V2X for the Lightning (and most other EV's). The way bi-directional charging should be!.To my knowledge with the way it works it shouldn’t matter if you have a Pro or Platinum. If serious I am sure Sigenergy could find a...

tearitupsports replied to the thread Software Update PT-25.13.12 : Charge Port Functionality & Cold Weather Performance.Leave the truck on for like 6 hours+ (just turn off lights, any ac/heat, etc.). That should help a lot to charge the 12V battery.
-
tearitupsports replied to the thread PT-25.8.5 : Charge Port Functionality & Cold Weather Performance.Try just leaving the truck on overnight. That should work if the battery isn’t complete toast. This has worked for me in the past.
