My general use case right now is I drive it while home and when I leave on 3-4 day trips I plug it in. I was using a Harbor Freight 600 mah $7 special however upgraded to the NOCO 5 over Xmas.
I'm not an expert in lead acid but do understand they like to be charged at 90%+ for best longevity...
He posts on here, one of the more helpful Youtubers. His grill replacement video how-to with front clip removal was great and well edited. I used it for my ACC/lane centering mod.
That one is above my pay grade lol
On the connectivity settings on the 22-24 screen, I've selected everything off including the Ford data. I did not pull the fuse, although that would be interesting to try as well.
I also forgot - the last night I took the key out of the faraday pouch and...
Test #1 is data is with truck unlocked, key inside cab, and telematics OFF. Test #2 is data with everything the same as #1, but telematics fuse #11 pulled as well.
Summary:
Telematics were selected off. Despite this, the vehicle was doing something every day around the same time, similar to...
This data is with telematics ON, used for reporting to Ford servers.
Summary:
Telematics ON certainly has a slight impact to battery life while sitting, however it was far less detrimental that I thought it would be. I don't believe leaving it ON should have a big impact on if vehicle enters...

A week ago I installed a $15 BM2 12v battery voltage monitor with the intent to establish a base case and...
I know you're trying to be helpful, but you live in an area of the country that gets rain 1.8 days a month. You also live in an area that pays out the wazoo for electricity at ~$0.40/kwh (I choked just writing that!!).
Most of us live in much more varied climates with many more days of cloudy...
You could buy the part. It's fairly expensive however.
It clips out easily and there are just two input connectors on it.
Not sure if it's supposed to be backlit or not though.
Get a PO Box out of state for a month, or use a relatives address.
Once purchased you can use at any dealer including in-state. It's a Ford warranty not a Florida warranty.
That's a metric nut and why aren't you using a socket? Wrench is wrong tool for job IMO. If anything you should use it to hold the bolt on the other side.
Well not sure why there needs to be a one year (100%) ROI, that seems too high a bar to set IMO.
But, the Maverick hybrid has such a low direct operating cost (on the order of $0.08/mi in gas) that full EV doesn't make sense from a purchase/cost standpoint if it's purchase price is much higher...
