This is the way. I had two dead batteries and one dead battery that even after charge would not engaged the ICE. Put in an AGM with all the install steps you listed. No issues (fingers crossed ever since). About $200 with that battery from Rock Auto and local shop installing. It’s sat after...

Also curious of the answer here. Seems like Q1 is not going to happen for the “software” fix. Any official word on it being pushed back? Are they still going to release this?

Almost exactly the same here! Got sick of the battery dying and being told it was fine. Bought an AGM off Rock Auto (https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=8878472) and had even went the extra mile of having a local mechanic install for me. Trickle charged to full, reset the BMS that...

I think the XL is the one to go for. The truck is intended to be a cheap, practical truckette. XL ensures that is true. Going higher starts to question if you might want to look elsewhere. Or at least compare. 2024 has cruise control which previously was a non-starter for the XL in my opinion...

Under the hood. Positive is easy to find. Negative is a little bolt coming out of the top, driver side corner. Look both up online easily. Then just run the cord through the hole in the engine splash cover - look directly down from the center of the engine. Hood closes and cord comes out from...

When I store my classic vehicle, I do almost the opposite. Fill the tank to the brim to avoid any condensation entering the tanks. Disconnect the battery and then trickle charge about two weeks before I want to drive again. Having said that, I only store it for the winter.

Someone can feel free to correct me, but anyone telling you that putting in a new battery (even an AGM) or charging a battery voids your warranty - is taking nonsense IMO. I believe that the Magnuson Moss Warranty Act protects consumers from being denied warranty coverage on their cars due to...

I wouldn’t worry about that. I think it will be acknowledged by all dealers. They’re just as sick of it as us likely. My dealer is actually gave me that exact sheet / promise a software fix is coming as the “solution” to the issue. IE - sorry but just deal with it until the software fix comes...

Really impressed with the DIY ethos on display here! I'm going to stick with just putting the clamps on for now but seriously impressed. It only takes a minute for me and I have a perfectly round hole in the engine slash shield right at the front where I run the cord out. I wonder if others do...

I hear you! But I'd just say that none of the FordPass features are that important (to me). Honestly, the only thing I ever used the application for was seeing "battery saver mode" notifications. And seeing the notification never helped me stop the battery from dying when it did. I'd argue that...

Agreed. To anyone coming across this thread, those features are not worth a dead truck. Turn them off. And uninstall the application from your phone too. And put in an AGM battery. Again, $200 and an hour of work is well worth preventing you from waking up to a dead truck. I did both and have...

Desperately hope you're right. Installed a Delco that fits perfectly. After install, I charged it all the way, reset the BMS, and now hoping I don't have to go back to trickle charging every night.

Sorry ahead of time, but I'm taking this personal now! How are dealers going to say that the 2024 (and before) battery is "fine" now when people come in with energy saver mode all the time and a flat battery every month or so?

Really curious if the 25 Hybrids come standard with an AGM battery. I just accepted defeat and paid out of pocket for one this week after too many flat batteries and even an engine failure (computer thought the 12v was still dead even after jump). If they make this stock, it means they are...

Thanks again, mate! Very helpful. Will absolutely update the thread. For now: Turned on all the connectivity again since I will be trickle charging most nights and hopefully have an AGM in the next week or so. I hear you. Was probably a knee-jerk reaction to this frustrating situation. I ended...

Really appreciate all your helpful responses on here. Dealing with the deep sleep issue since purchase. Battery died twice with the second time resulting in my engine not recognising the battery even after a jump (thus not engaging and I was stuck in electric mode). I have turned off...
