Except they both draw the same exact response (by some) Scroll up?
Ha, I was just posting that the specs listed for CCA was wrong. Glad that it ends up you don't need to replace. Curious, how does that tool connect to your battery to run the check?
Actually, those holes that I cut in the covers to get to the negative and the positive battery post, I just hooked it up to the positive then to the negative it will tell you if you don’t have it connected securely or not and once it’s connected securely, it’ll say battery test and then you pick the type of battery and then you go down The list of cold cranking amps, and because I was just assuming and did not know that’s why it showed the cold cranking amps in the 300s and it showed the bottom cranking cold amps at the higher number because that’s the number I put in there but once I figured out it was 380 that’s why the battery is good because now there’s enough Amperage I guess for cranking lol. Also, after you get done with that, you can do the cranking test where it will tell you that it’s good and then you actually start the motor and it shows the results of that I just didn’t know for sure how to do it on electric car but I did it on the gas. Mustang works good not not expensive tool at all.
Yes the spec is 380 CCA. Keep in mind that type of tester does not tell the whole story. A battery can pass the cranking amps test and still be bad. EVs don’t really use cranking amps, it’s more about capacity.So I have a question on this 12 V battery on the electric Mustang. I understand how to set up my tester for the 2012 Mustang I have, cold cranking amps and such. So I understand this being an AGM battery in the electric car, I ran the battery test. I only selected 590 cranking amps cause I don’t believe this thing Has a rating? Anyways, here is a screenshot of what it did after the car sat one day is this concern or can you not use that tester per se on this car? right now I’m charging the battery.
An update, I actually was looking at a replacement factory OEM and the problem was the cold cranking amps, if I entered wrong CCA will make it fail so according to the Ford battery is 380 cold cranking amps so this time the battery said good battery.
Yeah, that’s what I was thinking on the cold cranking. I just wanted to do the battery test to see if I got that good or bad battery thank you. I’m gonna put it on the scanner here in a minute after I’ve had it on the charger all day so.
I was trying to find it in this thread, and I was wondering even if it’s at 100% right now I’ve still got it plugged into the charger. Will that charge the 12 V battery even though the car is completed it’s charge?
It's my understanding that the 12 v battery will not be charged if the HV battery is not being charged. It will charge when you drive it.
I only charged it to 100% because it was already at 75 and I want to see if while charging the vehicle it charges to 12 V battery that was about all but with Car Scanner app it no longer lets you see the percentage of the battery for some reason I don’t know why they took that feature away Now all you can do is see the voltage of it unless it’s hidden in there I haven’t found it. I’ll just put my maintainer on it if I’m not driving that much.
