LOL !!! 😂 I never said that FORD said it. Most people DO however reference the 90% as the limit you should use based on what they interpret that FORD meant , OP literally did it in this very thread " Ford recommends that you set a charge limit of 90% for everyday driving", not up to, not max...

Do we get a free lunch if we mention your name ?

OK, so with everyone stating that Ford recommends that you "shall" charge TO 90% every day, I have to ask... Am I the only one who interpret what they as "you shouldn't charge to MORE than 90% on a daily basis in order to prolong battery life" I suppose the issue I have with it, is that some...

Not trying to split hairs, but I think it might actually be 10kW, at least if you go by what the OBD reports.

I'm confused... how can a battery with 97% SoC, 12.9V and no overnight charging (from the 40% trigger) have a major drain ?

I do not, I've replaced it previously.

Many times the simplest of solutions is also the best. I live in Michigan and charge outdoors and haven't had an issue so far. Sometimes the trigger / release will get a bit sticky but nothing too crazy. I don't cover it, but a plastic bag of some sort and rubber bands (might get brittle in the...

Figured I'd post here instead of a new thread... I got the "Battery Saver Mode" last night. The interesting thing is that I got the error just after the charging finished and the truck was still plugged in. I've been driving it almost daily, my 12V SoC when I started it this morning was 97% and...

This must be grounds for a class action !!!??? I mean, if its high they're making you a safety hazard and if it's low they're knowingly making you break the law, not to mention the loss of resale value when my truck with 300,000 miles on it actually only have 295,500 miles.

I'm so glad someone finally summarized the article two days and five pages of forum posts, debunking it as AI slop, later. Won't be long before AI posts their own posts about their own articles and then bumps their own threads two days later...

As they say, better late than never, but two years later I'd hope that OP found a solution already....

Only you can decide what works best for you under your circumstances. I don't do "truck stuff" very often so I don't mind that I lose a bit of bed space, I like the T-slot rails and near waterproof-ness of my Retrax XR, I like the fact that you can't just cut through it to get to what's inside...

Someone just needs to stick it on a dyno and see. I don't know how scientific this is, I don't do drag runs all that often so it's hard to tell. But this is 2.5 years worth of motor torque filterered for anything over 450Nm. At least from a theoretical point of view, and assuming that Ford...

You woke up the truck by opening the door, polling the modules via OBD will keep them awake and/or wake them up even though the truck is otherwise off, hence drawing a lot of power. This is the reason why I monitor the 12V supply to the dongle so that I don't keep making requests once the truck...

$0.1x DTE Michigan Not the best, not the worst, short of solar (not staying here 45 years) not much I can do about it.

For every "Ohmmu is amazing" post there should be a mandatory warning post with this: or - at a bare minimum a disclaimer mentioning that they're not suitable for vehicles being used in cooler climates (that see below freezing temperatures). Ohmmu might be great for some, but it is...

It's only as complicated as you make it, the principle for replacement haven't really changed.

Yes, that is correct, but it feels like I'm missing something here ?

Seems to me they'd be much better off going with a 65Ah battery instead and bumping the "emergency" threshhold to, say, 70% SoC. It would achive the same results with less wear and more reserve capacity. I doubt weight savings is a thing on a 7000lbs vehicle and cost difference would be...

I'll admit it's been a while since I tested this so policies might have changed with more recent software updates, BUT back then.... The truck will not pre-condition on L1 charging, not even "try to" with 1kW. The truck will however heat the battery on L1, with as much as it needs (even over...
