In a semirelated question, are the 12v pigtails in you bed hot all the time? I asked that question in another post because the ones in my 2022 Hybrid were hot all the time and I had deep sleep all the time. The pigtails in my 2024 Hybrid are not hot unless the ignition is on and I have had zero battery issues.
Depends on if we are talking Hybrid or EcoBoost. My EcoBoost has a BAGM-48H6-760. Which is 760 CCA / 950 CA / 120 RC.
In the 2022 and 2023 (I do not know on 2024) the 12v accessory circuit would stay active for up to 90 minutes (for tailgating etc) OR UNTIL THE 12 VOLT BATTERY DROPPED TO 12.1 VOLTS! Which is the reason the manual mentions that care should be taken with things left active in those circuits. Care had to be taken when installing dash cams or whatever to get power from a key off=12v off location. But some want items that want key off = power stays on.
The slow green blink is still conditioning and topping off the battery, you should wait until it finishes and goes solid green. The website said it was like filling a beer where it foams up, and you have to wait for the foam to drop down so you can add more, then wait and add more. But the most I got mine to was 13.2v so it sounds like you got close to that. My understanding is flooded batteries should top out about there, 2.2v per cell x 6 = 13.2v.
Just saw this but haven't watched the entire video. Is there a quick breakdown of what you're supposed to do? Mine just finished charging outside with ground cable from truck disconnected, I was going to let it sit connected and undriven for 6-8 hours to retrain the system. EDIT: I see now it was just saying to connect ground to the body or beyond the box sensor.
I hooked up my battery tender to the battery posts also and after 100% charge (according to BT) my start/stop was working although that was Saturday. From what I have read here if you connect to the ground on the body you will not bypass the BMS and it may only charge to 80% or whatever the default is. If the start/stop does not work below 70% you don't need to lose much charge to lose that function.
Short version of what the video says is.....
Great news. What you did is what I think needs to be done two or three times a year to get max life out of battery. I had a 2012 Honda CRV that held battery charging after start (maybe sometimes more often, supposedly to help with mpg never confirmed why). battery would die 26-34 months unless put on maintenance charge for about five days or more three times a year. Some have reported that after truck sits for 24 hours sometimes not always battery will be charged above the normal 80(?)% charge. If so I assume Ford is periodically bringing to close to max charge to keep battery health. As a side note my brother in law is having lights not coming on sometimes in his 2019 loaded GMC SUV. Might be same type issues we are experiencing. I did see on Odyssey website that the maintenance slow blink top off charge could take as much as 96 hours. I do not know which battery though.
As long as it does that, you don't have an issue. At least, that's the attitude I have with similar battery/charging issues on the EB 2.0....
wow, at that high of voltage I would say it can't be anything but 100% SOC. I think for some strange reason the truck thinks it's 58 but it's not correct.This at first key turn:
This after 40 minutes drive:
This after 80 minutes of driving:
Hard to see the last one due to shutter speed sync but I think you can make out 58% charge and zero amps going into the 12v battery.
BUT THE TRUCK STARTS AND GETS ME TO WORK EVERY DAY. SO YOU TELL ME: do I have an issue or not????
That is interesting though
