That document says it is not charged until it has been down to 40% for 48 hours when the car is not on. I don't believe it is good for a battery to be discharged to that level in cold weather on a regular basis.
That was the original strategy in 2021. I believe Mach-Lee has said in other posts the strategy has been updated.
Aye, it has been updated, to a variation on the theme. Seem to recall the percentages changed.
Beautiful looking car?My 2021 MME First Edition was built in late December 2020 and I took delivery in early April. The car was held for just over 2 months in a dessert location in the US due to a recall they needed to complete on all First Editions. My 12 Volt battery works very well and I am located on Ontario Canada with cold winters. I do keep the car in the garage at night and plug in the 240Volt to keep battery pack topped up to 90%.
It depends on how it charges while driving. If it keeps the battery more 'topped off' (90%-ish?) while driving, this should keep the battery in better health vs. sitting around a lot hovering in the 40-50% range before the vehicle charges it.
Wife’s car is a November or December 2020 build date. Picked it up February 2021. Was supposed to be a manikin car. She also has 63K.
“Manikin car?” Not a concept I am familiar with.
I think he meant mannequin a.k.a. Demo.
So a showroom queen. Thanks. I thought that might be what he meant.
Cool! I had no idea that a 22v battery was an option.
That’s why it lasted so well?
