Dead battery after flat towing, 2024 Maverick Hybrid.

The cheap answer is a $15 bluetooth voltage monitor. Then you know your truck's battery voltage as you tow it and if the charge wire stops working for any reason, you 'll know it.

HI Brad:
Just removed my 3rd failed RVi battery charger (this one melted where the wires go in and out of it - piece of junk in my experience with 3 separate units) and installed a direct line with an in-line diode breaker and fuse. Do you have a link on the voltage monitor you used. I now have a 44 DP and hopefully it will have enough bluetooth output to capture at driver's position some 50+ feet away.

I bought my 2 from ebay,
Just search for "vgate monitor". Most sellers are $14.95 with free shipping. I just put the positive ring on the positive jump terminal and the negative on the nearest ground lugs below it. I have one on my C-Max as well as my Maverick, and the app will show both and I choose the right one. I just walked to the inside back of our 40' trailer, and the maverick is parked about 20 feet in front. Good solid bluetooth connection. Here is what you see. I just check the app on occasion, but I believe you can even set alarms.
