Bravo, my good man. I am proud of your innovation and determination. You are making a great contribution to the CWD efforts.
I look forward to hearing about your results.
You'll experience what I have described sooner or later unless you always drive like a grandma. If that's the way you drive, I'm OK with that.
BTW.... try to be kinder when you post and respond to a post on this forum. Don't cut people down for posting their issues. This forum is for everyone...
Here is an answer to your question, compliments of X-AI (Grok-3). It's a great explanation and it makes sense:

This question is about Ford F150 Lightning Trucks. Specially a 2023 XLT standard range battery truck. When I charge it to 90% and the get into my truck to drive it, within...
I agree 100%. It's not the same truck I test drove and purchased..... for a premium.
Bait and switch lawsuit if you wanted to take it that far. Kinda like buying a tesla model S for performance and getting the experience of a Prius.
Ford should give us a notice and explanation for the need...
I need to connect an OBD-II data collector and see if anything odd pops out concerning my reduced acceleration. I have the Torque Pro app and an OBD-II scanner that I used for my ICE Explorer, but it doesn't collect the right data. Any suggestions?
Yes, I had a full charge and the battery wasn't hot. I need to connect an OBD-II data collector and see if anything odd pops out. I have the Torque app and an OBD-II scanner that I used for my ICE Explorer, but it doesn't collect the right data. Any suggestions?
The best of the best is a combination of a hot sports car and nice truck...... that's Lightning's reputation they need to protect. That was true with the older ICE Lightning trucks. They were fast as heck.
This is why some people buy the electric Lightning, for its performance. It was a...
Yes. I was using sport mode.
Needless to say, I didn't impress my friend with the Lightning’s acceleration. Another missed opportunity to make a future Lightning sell.
It's not an imaginary issue. I could even bark the tires in the beginning. Not now. I know my vehicles. I've had Camaros and a Corvette. I grew up in my father's car dealership. I have a heavy foot and a need for speed. My Lightning is a great vehicle that fits my driving style. It still...
I bought mine used. However, everything was reset at the dealership for a new driver.
Does Ford give you that impressive acceleration in the beginning so you'll brag about your Ford Lightning, then slowly take it away through pre programmed software mods?
It's like the shiny soap the...
Lately, I've noticed a small reduction in my ability to accelerate. I don't have any warnings or other issues.
I tried to demonstrate my Lightning's ability to accelerate to a friend today and it didn't have that impressive take off as it normally does.
Has anyone else experienced this...
BlueCruise should be cheaper so that Ford can learn from the guys who are willing to use it. Ford needs all the data they can get to make it better. My goodness, you would think Ford would appreciate the guys who spent the extra bucks on the Lariat and Platinum enough to just give them...
My advice is not to wait on the "Ford Company" guy who responded to your post to help much. I got contacted by a similar person about a problem I had, and we exchanged emails a couple of times and nothing was done to help me.
Your best bet is to champion this problem yourself and ask this...
My experience is that Ford customer service is totally dysfunctional and only waste your time. Call and find out for yourself. They think they are masters of psychology and can talk you into being satisfied even if they don't help at all to solve your issues.
I had a case number for an issue...
Here is a bit more information concerning your 12V Lightning battery. This info may help you and others:

That takes away the challenge and opportunity to innovate. The same setup can be used for anyone who picks up cheap, used industrial lathes and drill presses that are 3-phase.
You could set up a 3-phase shop using this converter method.
