FordPass issue, Battery Saver Mode

[SoxFan33]

Good luck with that. Ford is evidently simply ignoring all of us owners and now doesn't even seem to acknowledge that the problem exists. It's now been one full year since they promised a permanent fix by the end off the first quarter of 2025, a date they then changed to the end of the second quarter. That went by the side of the road, and since then have gone completely silent. By the way, putting in an AGM (or dealership did on our 2023 Lariat hybrid, as a customer courtesy, since they are just as frustrated with Ford) and it makes absolutely no difference at all. All software updates to modules done by service department, as per Ford. This is after two days of not driving - down to a 40% state of charge:

Where are you getting that SOC data?

I’ve not found a place to check it myself.

Truck doesn't have it built-in for display.

Either a scanner tool using the OBD port and reading the system's own values.

Or a battery tester you apply the leads to posts and test, or is attached to clamps and it displays/sends out the values for display unit or phone app to show.

The former lets you see much more - but is more expensive, and only works when truck systems are on.
The latter can be cheaper, unless a nicer setup, but can work all the time and track Voltage while truck is off.

It is the Ancel BM200 connected directly at the battery posts. Besides voltage and SOC, it also measures the temperature of the battery case. It also logs from previous periods. Draws extremely low current in use (Average Working Current: 1.5mA).

You can get one on Amazon:
