I’ve been using my Noco Genius5 on the Hybrid Mav connected to the terminals under the hood. Still propping up the crappy Motorcraft battery. I just know at some point that flimsy plastic red cover is going to break off of the positive terminal particularly at the seam where it bends down...

I’ve turned everything off including WiFi, location services, downloads, and all Ford Pass app connectivity and I still lose dash and dome lights 2-3 times a week but, still starts. OEM battery at 11.5v nearly every time I start. I’ll replace the OEM crappy battery, after it completely...

Mav is nearly 2 feet longer than my Honda CRV and almost a foot longer than my Subie Forester Sport. I think the long wheelbase helps give it a rather smooth ride. I would not consider it a compact but, it’s not fair to compare it to the monster pickup trucks on the road today. That’s like...

Depends on your experience with the 12v battery. Some owners never have a problem while others can’t go a few days without deep sleep or no start issues. Late MY23 and newer MY24 seem to have less of an issue overall. Keep in mind that deep sleep is by design and preserves the starting...

It’s for the 12v battery under the rear seat in hybrids and under the hood for ECOBOOST. The 1.1 kw traction battery is under the front passenger seat outside the cabin and only visible from underneath the Mav. Connect the battery tender to the designated posts under the hybrid hood or...

I love my Noco Genius5. Plenty of power for quick charges and very safe to use. Does 12v and 6v as well as lead acid, lithium ion, deep cycle, and AGM. Also can recondition/repair dead batteries down to <1v. You can leave it on the battery as long as you want. About $70 on Amazon.

I think a lot of folks don’t want want to spend $200-$300 on a new AGM when the Motorcraft fodder is under warranty for 36 months and it’s a brand new vehicle. I get that, but for me, I also don’t want the dealership hassle and inconvenience of them taking my Mav for days or weeks and putting...

I’m still playing with the modes but, I gotta say that Sport is a lot of fun. I can really feel the difference in how the Mav performs in Sport Mode. Plus, in cold weather, the Hybrid warms up the cabin a lot faster in Sport mode which keeps the ICE running.

Got one in two of my three cars/truck and a GB50 in the third car. Highly recommend. I’ll never hook car-to-car for jumps anymore. Too much fragile tech in cars to risk it plus the Noco has many safety features to protect the user.

Sorry for the crappy pic. It's an h4 .... about a half inch taller than the OEM spec other dimensions are fine. The height is probably why it does not show up as a fitment for the Mav as already noted but, it fits fine. Many MTC folks have installed this without issue. I plan to do the...

This seems to be a popular AGM option that fits

I have nothing constructive to add other than venting on this 12v battery issue. I’ve just reached the deep sleep issue after 5 months and 2k miles on my Mav Hybrid Lariat. I’ve been reading and researching this for several months and, I agree, it does seem like a question of when and not...

Drives me nuts! Happens on the rear doors only. If I park on any upward incline, nose first, then no issue. If I park on any flat surface, I get the top gasket drain on to the rear cabin threshold. Poor design???

Seems like an AGM would be a better option vs the lead acid Die Hard. The lead acid Die Hard also ran into Deep Sleep issues but, much later on according to some threads. So far, I haven’t read any deep sleep issues where an AGM was installed unless I just missed them in my reads. There is...

Does this AGM have the vent holes on both sides with plugs to use for the unvented side of the battery? Is this AGM any better than the AC Delco AGM that other threads have identified for the Hybrid Mav?

The GB40 wire clamps are plenty long enough to reach the engine bay charge points. The connect points are closer than you think.

I got the 10yr/75k plan with a $200 deductible for about $1400 all in with tax at delivery. I only drive the Mav about 5k to 6k a year so this fit nicely and was very cost effective for me.

This removes just about every interior stain including sunscreen. Have been using it for a few years on all my cars and their different surfaces. Does a great job on removing sunscreen. Highly rated and very reasonable on Amazon. You can use it full strength or diluted. I dilute it at...

I went for premium for the same technology reasons. A one and done bit of money for great peace of mind. You can’t maintain computer chips and if the tech fails, it always seems to fail big. I used the Flood Ford info to get the dealer to match; they have a nice chart laying out the...

Great info and interesting read; puts my mind somewhat at ease regarding the 15.2v read. I’ll stick with the OEM 12v until I can’t. I’ll probably put an AGM in sooner rather than later based on the experiences within the MTC. This whole 12v battery issue is frustrating and should have...
