  1. FranklinWH batteries to Lightning?

    To use the PPO on the truck to power the house you have to switch the neutral or you will get a ground fault on the truck.
  2. Ford Pass App Charge Station Pro Amp Adjustment Setting Useless

    I am looking for an EV Charger that uses my excess solar in real time to charge my EV. The Enphase IQ does it in 25% increments adjusted every 15 minutes, but I want something more responsive, and with the FordPass App if it worked I could tweak it to be close most if the time. Ford told me the...

  4. Ford Pass App Charge Station Pro Amp Adjustment Setting Useless

    Yes through the app it has a slider bar to change amps, but it does not work. Photos attached. Energy tab at bottom, then charge station, then settings, then edit max charge current.
  5. Ford Pass App Charge Station Pro Amp Adjustment Setting Useless

    I asked Ford's EV Charging department why they have a setting in the Ford Pass App that lets you adjust the Charge Station Pro amp draw from 6 amps to the maximum you have allowed per your circuit installation, which in my case is 80 amps, as I installed it on a 100-amp circuit. They said the...
  6. Lightning as a battery backup split loads

    That’s an idea, thanks. What smart panel are you suggesting would work?
  7. Lightning as a battery backup split loads

    I am attempting a similar system. I currently can run my home most of the night with the PPO only, but at times I need additional power. I am thinking of hooking up my 5 ton HVAC to a newly installed HIS and a separate panel and then I could run everything else off the PPO. My understanding is...
  8. PPO & HIS Simultaneous Use

    Thanks. I need a little more out of the truck than the 9.6 kW from the PPO, and getting 9.6 kW from the HIS would allow me to store all my excess solar and run my home with my stored solar at night. I told my Ford salesman that I was really buying a battery, that just happens to have a truck...
  9. Max available kW power from Ford’s HIS

    I have a 2023 Lighting ER and I am trying to determine exactly how many kW’s of power the Home Inegration System (HIS) can provide. The spec from the Bidirectional PPO says power output is 38 amps DC, but not at what voltage. I have seen some discussions of 380-400 VDC mentioned, but I am...
  10. PPO & HIS Simultaneous Use

    I have a 2023 Lighting ER, and I am currently using the power from the Pro Power Onboard (PPO), both the 7200 watt circuit and the 2400 watt circuit to power my home at night. If I install a Home Inegration System (HIS), would that also provide power at the simultaneously? I have different...
  11. Class Action Lawsuit - Home Integration System

    That’s good news, 9.6 KW from Pro Power Onboard (PPO) and another 10 kW or so from an installed HIS is very workable. Looking to doing Energy Arbitrage, storing my excess solar during the day and using the truck to run my home at night, Nearly doing it with just the PPO now. Does it show on...
  12. Class Action Lawsuit - Home Integration System

    Looks like output is 34 amps at 400 volts DC which is 13.6 kW, minus inverter loss, but not sure. Input is definitely 80 amps max at 240 volts AC or 19.2 kW max charge rate. Are there different inverters available? page 5 of Installation Manual: Terminal Amperage A/L1, B/L2[N] 80 Amps DC+, DC-...
  13. Class Action Lawsuit - Home Integration System

    I bought the 2023 Lightning for the purpose of using the Home Integration System (HIS) to store my excess solar during the day and use the truck batteries to power my home at night. I hooked up a temp solution while I was trying to decide whether to buy expensive Enphase batteries or buy the...
  14. Pro Charger at 80A on 125A panel?

    Hard to do actual calculation, as one pictured above says you have multiple of some appliances but doesn’t say how many. Even saying that, the values look suspicious Dryer should be 5000 unless gas?
  15. Lightning Won’t Accept More Than 46A From Grizzl-E Ultimate 80A Charger

    Same reason I bought a 2023, because in order to reduce cost Ford was going to only come with one charger instead of 2 if you bought an ER package on 2023 models. (Also they do not include Ford Home Pro Charger 80 amps) anymore on 2024 models, but it came included with 2023 ER model, which can...
  16. Pro Power problem

    No, I make sure that is first thing I do. Neutral is very important, no neutral and voltage can vary widely from phase A to B, depending on the load.
  17. Pro Power problem

    Isn't neural-ground bonded in the truck, I always have truck neutral or service neutral bonded at the panel, and only after turning off the MCB do I change from one neutral to the other. Having said that I have ordered a neutral switching device.
  18. Pro Power problem

    Thanks, will do
