Interesting. I posted in your other thread as well.

Something is draining the battery down while it sits (at work?). From 8am to 4:30 pm. Is that normal on a vehicle? I'd imagine not. The battery isn't the problem, the problem is the truck is doing whatever it does while it sits idle and voltage is dropping to low levels. @HeyBales this is a...

Probably running around 5500 rpm @The Real Maverick would know the top out on that motor. Keep in mind what you are talking about here. Their summary at the end was great - for people who use this for commuting and occasionally tow a boat, camper, etc on flat or slightly hilly terrain this...

ICE is around 160 hp IIRC. Battery is small and was likely at 30% min state of charge inside the first minute. Yep, pretty impressive.

FYI: I've ordered from AliExpress before, for the $50 savings and shipping from US I'd do it in a heartbeat.

It's impressive. Even more impressive is that fact that they should've reduced total gross weight by 1,600 lbs: Wondering if the next Maverick iteration (2028?) will only be hybrid. What's crazy is while it has 190 hp, that includes the battery supplying power and it was dead after that first...

I agree. The battery should be more than capable of maintaining a charge level for six days without a charger attached let alone with one attached when parked in a garage that never got below 50°. This is an internal software thing that turns on systems of the vehicle (even if telemetry is off)...

I believe if interior lights are disabled, it's in deep sleep mode. Which is so odd, it was hooked up to a fully capable charger for six days.

Charger is good and set to lead acid 12v. I think I'm going to stop charging it, turn telemetry on and let it fail fully. Sounds like these just sort of die. Saw another post about this as well. I'll hopefully be able to limp it along until that new software update comes out and get a new one...

No, it was attached to the hybrid jump points under the hood.

I don't understand this. I've babied this battery, plugging it into a maintainer anytime it's sat more than a day in my garage. Everything was fine prior, I left on a six day trip and: Plugged in a Noco Genius 5 Disabled all telemetry Locked truck Placed key inside house in faraday cage pouch...

Problem with the vent mount is in winter, with the heat on, you're heating up the phone. Not good for battery life.

I've had excellent luck with Powerstop. I have used Akebono like @RodT suggested and they've been good too. But in the interest of cost, I put Powerstop ceramic pads and e-coated rotors on my wife's Prius about a year ago and so far so good. I did spend about 45 mins bedding them in as suggested...

Anyone know if you can run this on the headlights of the XL/XLT and make it look like the Lariat DRL?

AGM requires a different charge profile then lead acid. AGM: Requires lower voltage (13-15) but higher amperages resting voltage is roughly 0.4v higher than lead acid Lead Acid: Can/should be charged with higher voltages (15-17) but lower amps resting voltage is roughly 0.4v lower than AGM...

No matter the size the charge controller won't let it hurt the battery. I have a 35w panel in my airport car that sits for days in freezing temps, I've used these solar chargers for decades and they work well.

Of course, that tracks that tank. You don't even need to do any calculations. I find it somewhat interesting to track my usage over time using Fuelly to make it ez.

Anything in yellow is advisory only, not a speed restriction, so that makes sense.

Trip computer is around 5%-7% high FWIW Only real way to tell is do a bunch of driving over 1000, 5000, 10000 miles etc and track on Fuelly. That way the fill up factor is mitigated as well. I get 33-37 mpg highway in my hybrid, depending on time of year (ie winter gas has less energy) and...

Motorcraft synthetic is good oil. It tests well. The RMS going was probably more due to a bad seal at install OR blowby that got out of hand and blew it (although why it got to that point is...interesting). RMS failing is pretty rare. But you're not going wrong with any of those other oils...
