Nice warmer day today 21C (69.8F) and I am finally starting to see the fuel efficiency slide back up. I decided to take the long way home from a walk in the park. A bit of city and highway driving. Much better than the 42mi/gal I was averaging through the winter!

Only 5 days of data in April (new AGM installed on the 31'st of March) but a much better trend for now!

So, at almost the one-year mark I replaced the 12V battery on my own dime. I did take it to Ford to check and after charging it up they told me it was fine. As soon as I parked in the garage after driving it home it went back into deep sleep. Here are two graphs, one is 1/2 the old battery...

Yes, I reset and locked and left it until the next day. The AGM does appear to hold the charge much better than the OEM battery. The SoC did come down to mid 60% after a quick run to and from dinner last night. I am about to go for a longer drive so I will see what it does now that it is close...

Your post reminded me I had not let the app know the battery had been changed to an AGM from a Flooded Cell. Making the Change did not make any immediate difference but I will look at the data over the next few days. I can see a much different decay rate on the V and SoC graphs.

This is the status a few hours after taking the truck for its first decent run since changing the battery from the OEM battery to an AGM. I have not changed anything using FORScan. I am not sure why it is showing 97% if the BMS maxes out at 80%. Maybe it’s because the BMS was just reset and is...

I am curious as to when you bought it... maybe the original owner had it replaced under warranty just before they sold it? It would not be unusual for it to be starting to fail if it was the original.

Without searching the manual… mine will do this if I leave it “Ready” or in ACC and get out and shut the door with the keys on me. It’s annoying especially when your doing it on purpose!

This why I always ensure I have very good coverage and underinsured driver protection. It took over two years to get from accident to settlement when I was t-boned. It went to arbitration so there were 3 rooms rented. Me and my lawyer, the insurance company lawyer and the other driver and his...

Well, I got the ACDelco LN1AGM charged up, installed and BMS reset. Deep Sleep is gone, so after about 6 months of instant deep sleep after shutting it off, I can now use the Ford App again. I forgot to test the passenger side keyless entry before I parked it back against my storage racks as...

Perfect... I ordered it. I have given up waiting for Ford to give us the fix. My original battery is sitting at or below 12V each morning now and often at close to 0% SOC.

Technically the dealership owns it until you complete the sale, BUT (and its a big but) there is a finite number of miles they should put on a "new" vehicle before the person who ordered it is handed the keys. Moving it around the lot or to get the gas tank filled - OK. If it was part of stock...

Sorry, this happened to you and the truck! I hope you are not in too much pain tomorrow as the next day is usually the worst. I am impressed at how well the side of the truck seems to have held up (from the picture). When you look at the front end of the car that hit you it must have been...

I stopped by an Auto Parts store close to home with the intent of buying a Group 140R AGM battery, but they would have to order it from the warehouse (same or next day). He pointed out the computer showed the truck took a Group 99R battery, so I thought I better double check before I ordered...

I have used all the cable positions except the one below. Maybe it’s just me but it does not look too secure if you hit a speed bump etc.

My current driving style is very similar. My commute to work is about 12km (18 Mins) and I am less than 5 weeks away from retirement, so I don't want to subject a new battery to the same misuse the original has been enduring. I have some free time coming up (a week of vacation) so I was thinking...

No, I still have the original Flooded Cell. I was just saying I would prefer to be in the same position as that member. I am trying to hold out for the fix so that I do not put a new battery through the same poor conditions as the original one. If they do not replace my battery when they do the...

I would accept the odd deep sleep if warranted due to lack of use etc., but I get a deep sleep message every time I shut the truck off. The app is useless to me!

What... it doesn't - I have changed my mind! Just kidding, I knew that when I bought it. I am always in the driver's seat, and I don't think I have moved the seat since I set it up after I took possession (and I always drive)!

I had the money saved and knew I was about a year away from retiring. I keep my vehicles so long I am never on the cutting edge for tech. I know the Maverick Lariat was not even close to having all the cutting-edge tech, but considering my last SUV did not have a reverse camera and had a...
