I'm sure you've noticed this other thread, too, where some folks have reported the opposite of what I'm experiencing. They set a desired less-than-maximum-hardware-limit charging rate and their FCSP is willy-nilly defaulting to the maximum allowed hardware rate. Strange behavior of FCSP...

Yeah! Never let a wife own an iPhone! She captures little embarrassing cameo pictures of me all the time, and I got nabbed in that image as an example of "this is what I have to put up with!" But I thought, "that's me, unfortunately..." and I've used it ever since as my avatar. Here's a...

Here's what CarScanner Pro (OBDLink CX) on the All Sensors screen filtered for "Current" reports. The truck is providing the data and it seems to say that almost all of the current requested is being delivered. Someone else would have to explain where the -29.52 A from the HVB is going and why...

Have to correct/update my just previous post in this thread on FordPass with the above quoted observations. On 1/11/24, I had my truck at the dealer. My iOS version of FordPass was updated to 4.32.1 while at the dealer for over ~4 hours, IIRC. When I got home, I did a cold reboot of the...

News Flash! <<<joking>>> The following seems to point out that there is more involved than FordPass. Unfortunately, being ~lazy, I've just been going for the Charge to 100% When Plugged In option in Vehicle tab, Charging, Preferred Charge Times of Ford Pass so I don't have to change my charge...

My dealer has an FCSP and that was something discussed before I went in on 1/11/24 for the BECM and BSM CSP updates and the Sync recall, but somehow that fell through the cracks. To really test it at the dealer, I'd have to connect my FordPass to their FCSP, etc., which is probably something...

Yes, on 1/11/24, my iOS version of FordPass got updated to 4.32.1. Just checked my FCSP charging rate now, though. FP is set to charge at 60 A, FCSP only delivers ~30 A (battery temp is 13 deg C), and CarScanner says my truck is only requesting 31 A. If I try to check FP, Account, Charge...

Amazon had a very strong investor base that saw what Amazon was doing as a very profitable future. Amazon also overbuilt their web services to support their business model and then found, "Hey! We have a very profitable product here." IIRC, most of Amazon's profits come from AWS, not the...

METHOD #1 METHOD #2 Both Method #1 and Method #2 of entering Accessory Mode will charge the LVB when the truck is plugged into my FCSP. In Method #2, since I stepped on the brake pedal in addition to pushing the Power button, the truck thinks it's going to go somewhere, and if the battery is...

I took four years of technical drawing in high school. Later, I wished I had machine shop, electronics, and automotive repair - although I had a baby machine and woodworking shop in middle school. The technical drawing did come in handy later in life, though. Still have my drafting table and...

There is this forum thread on the Vue 2. https://www.f150lightningforum.com/forum/threads/emporia-evse-and-vue-gen2-review.12696/ Setting it up to be a whole home monitor sounds a little dangerous with the main 200 A clamps on the main panel (avoid the main lugs and avoid using two hands to...

Silver Bells and Little Drummer Boy?! It's Christmas all year round in Massachusetts! :)

Overnight, I may only lose 3 or 4% LVB capacity or rarely close to 30%. I don't think you're losing your marbles. @RickLightning pointed out in another post that your fob or your PAAK can wake the truck up if they're nearby, as will refreshing FordPass, all of which will increase the parasitic...

Maybe my math is off, but a drain of 15 mA is not that much compared to the 35 Ah capacity of the LVB, at least for 24 hours. It can't account for much of the overnight drain of the LVB. An idle current of 15 mA is 0.015 Ah in an hour. In 24 hours, it's 0.015 x 24 = 0.36 Ah. 0.36 Ah/24 hrs...

I have the Max Tow package on my '23 Lightning ER. The data in the following post would seem to show that the coolant loop for the ER battery consumes all the 9 kW the coolant heater is consuming. I presume the Engine Coolant Temperature (A) and (B) readings are for the cabin loop and the...

I'm using an OBDLink CX, which @$80 is considerably more expensive than many popular OBDII readers such as VeePeak. OBDLink® CX - Bluetooth 5.1 BLE OBD2 Adapter For BimmerCode. From the OBDLink CX specifications tab: Operating Voltage 12V automotive systems (8–18V operating range)...

CNN has a good review of the effect of cold weather on EVs. They say that beyond the drop in battery power, heating the cabin can be an even bigger range hit than a cold battery, particularly if one is taking many short trips in a day where the cabin cools down at each stop. CNN claims a heat...

This is an old thread compared to some of the more recent discussions of installing the Home Integration System. There have been updates issued in the fall of 2023 for the Lightning, the Ford Charge Station Pro, and the Delta BDI in the Home Integration System that make the backup power...

I'm an iPhone user of Apple's CarPlay. ABRP shows up by default in CarPlay.

My dealer service was on 1/11/23 and the NHSTA Sync recall and both CSPs, the BSM and the BECM one, have now been cleared from my Ford account, even though the BSM is on order and hasn't been installed yet (the hardcopy service order was also written up as if it were installed but an e-mail...
