I finally installed the China AGM Battery that I got for $150.00 with no core charge. I have had no more deep sleep mode for the last 3 months. I had a friend of mine do it with a telescoping magnet and socket. No removal of plastic and did it in In 30 minutes. The dealer time install says...
Just to help a bit of info to help more, the size is perfect and will fit and says 570cca, which really doesn't matter in a Hybrid.
The real reason is because AGM is not OEM in our years 2022-2024.
Love all of you on MTC!
I probably would have sold mine by now, if not for everyone's help.
That's exactly what I think!
If the programming is already set for AGM, maybe that's why we are all having problems in the first place with the flooded battery.
And the funny thing is that my reputable dealer replaced my battery 4 times in 3 years and said they could not put an AGM battery in...
When you say Installation and Programming, was that just the BMS Reset or did they actually change settings in Programming? Does anyone know exactly where to go in Forescan and what to change when an AGM Battery is installed, or just leave it alone?
If this Post is up to 39 pages, I think we all really have a big issue that the dealer needs to FIX!
I bought the new inexpensive China AGM battery and have not installed/replaced my 4th battery that the dealer replaced under warranty, a year ago.
My MAV is continually in deep sleep mode all...
Thank you, Glen Baker!
I tried for a half an hour to get the plastic out and couldn't.
I know I am not stupid but what the heck am I doing wrong?
I think the battery is in the way of removing the plastic.
Do I have to remove the battery hold down bracket to wiggle the battery out of the way to...
Hi HeyBales, I wish I could figure out where I saw it, and I know I did, we all can't be imagining we saw it!
There was supposed to be a Deep Sleep Battery Fix by the second quarter of 2025.
I saw it but don't know where the official texting is, maybe we can all try to find it.
Hi UpstateSC, I just brought my Mav in for the Deep Sleep issue again, that I have been having since I bought the truck in March 2022. Ford has already replaced 4 batteries and now says that Batteries, Hoses and Belts are no longer covered after the 3 year standard warranty.
I bought the...
Thank you everyone for all of your awesome responses to this post!
I bought the new AGM China Battery for $135.00 and I got Forscan now loaded on my laptop and an OBD II adapter recommended by Forscan for Ford.
I have never done any of this connecting and programming to a car before but I have...
I don't think I can do the lemon law at the 3 1/2 year point and am pretty much on my own with this problem, I think. I didn't bail out soon enough because I love my truck and thought they might be able to fix it after now going on over 3 years. I like all of the controls better in my 2022...
Thank you Carlitos, I know that was a question that would never be answered. Just thought I would express my frustration. I thought I had seen some responses to people, but you are saying that was all AI.
Does anyone know how we can make them listen about our battery problem?
Thank you for that update!
We may be heading in a better direction.
Many have said that the AGM Battery has made a big difference.
I am looking forward to trying the Chinese AGM Battery.
If this doesn't fix the problem I am going to go after the Lemon Law but I don't know about after 3 years.
Hey FORD, is anybody listening or are you trying to ignore the problem way too many of us are having?
What happened to the Battery FIX that was suppose to happen by the second quarter of 2025?
Mine would still be under warranty and possibly fixed.
I absolutely love my Hybrid Maverick! I really...
That is a good question!
If anyone knows, please comment.
What if you just put a new AGM battery in and don't do the BMS Reset and wait the ridiculous 8 hours to make the computer learn the new State Of Charge.
My guess is, you are probably going to be experiencing the same problem if you don't.
The manual says 8 hours and I saw 12 hours in a post.
Here it is right out of the 2022 manual on page 311.
Battery Sensor Reset
When you install a new battery, reset the battery sensor by doing the following: 1. Switch the ignition on, and leave the engine off. Note:Complete Steps 2 and 3 within...
They say because I am after the 3 year warranty period, they can't do anything anymore battery related.
I have see on some posts say they have gone into programming with Forescan and I think changed the State Of Charge level to a higher percentage.
Not sure if this did anything on the existing...
I thought I would get the Extended Warranty on my 2022 just in case there were funny problems that would be expensive to fix.
I found out that wearable parts such as belts, hoses and batteries are not covered past the 3 year, 36,000 mile standard warranty.
Based on all of you great peoples...
