Engine tag spells it out.

Well, in 3 or 4 letters.

Maybe you got one of the holdbacks when they were unsure which ones had the "engine FIRE build" and they finally cleared it!!!😁

Did you know the 2.0 Ecoboost engine is also built in Spain? Neither the battery nor the engine are junk.

From what I am reading , it appears that the 370 cca battery made in Spain appears to have the same specs as those made in Mexico, or ?. So Ford is saying "make them like this". So it appears that the battery may be too small or the charging specs may not be ideal. My hybrid 2022 had the 390 24 month battery replaced with the 470 36 month MAX series which is better but still gets to see my noco 5g maintainer due to no dome light though much less frequently. My OEM 390 was replaced at 34 months due to bad cell with the 470 max.

I still have my stock 2022 battery in mine. It was low voltage from day one.
But still going "strong" just 12.2 volts.

Back when I drove 30 min AM and 30 min PM the battery seemed to slowly decline.

Now; new job, better pay, but requires 1 hour drive AM and 1 hour PM and the battery seems to be slightly improving.

When once I drove 50 hours in 5 days on a cross-continent trip, the 12v battery reached 99%!

So when Ford says "drive it more" they really mean it!

I am a low-level Ford employee with an MBA - I need to prove myself
I know I will suggest we buy all of our batteries from Spain and save $6.22 per unit
I fly to Spain - 1st class of course - Spain government wines and dines me
Ford listens - we do a $hundred million deal
I am a hero and get promoted
fast forward all the batteries are crap and they all fail
what can I say ?

I guess that kind of timing for warranty replacement is what I could hope for too.
After all the stories, I thought I'd be doing a double replace hopefully within the 36 months, and go from there with a new one - but maybe not.
I need to set a reminder at 33 months during winter - sit in car listening to radio more after getting home.

Like TRM seeing improvement - I've had some ending drives recently above 12.1 V and the power port is staying on for some time after door lock. That should help too!

All the batteries are good quality except for the ones that they put in the EcoBoosts that had a catastrophic plate separation recall. The BMS programming error is the problem, not the batteries. Its killing perfectly good batteries.
