Just got it on mine as well. Keep those updates rolling Ford!
It's not good for the battery to be sitting at 100% for an extended period of time. Charging it to that state in preparation for a trip or during a trip is fine, you'll be using it the next day. Now I'm at 100% and will be for 11 more days. It's also in the owner's manual, although the reasons are not stated (of course). There were a bunch of threads on this while all of us were waiting on the MME to start production if you want to delve into the dusty archives and are stunningly bored
. I usually charge to 80% as I very rarely need more than that for any reason. I've had reason to charge to 100% exactly once in the 17 months I've had the car.
Last Update I received; it knocked out the preset charging limits. It's annoying but small price to pay for a Frunk Release Button LOL!!!Ok, early February 2021 build, job 1.
This PowerUp downloaded and installed around 8:00 am HST today.
Here are the issues:
1. I have auto update turned OFF.
2. Even if auto update was on, I have it set to install at 2:05 am HST daily. Auto update was off though.
3. I did not tell the car to update when I arrived at the grocery store this morning. I wasn’t even aware yet that it has an available update. I had checked for that before leaving home as the car is in EA, and this thread.
4. The car was updating when I came out to load the groceries and go home. The car was unavailable. Luckily the update only lasted no more than 10 minutes after I arrived at the car. Yeah it was foggy, cool (high 50s) and drizzling.
5. The car charged to 100% after this. It did NOT delete the home location. Checking the map, the car did show itself at home. This is an issue as the car is not going to be driven again until October 10. All my driving between now and then requires a pickup.
No Frunk release button. And it did not knock out any preset charging limits, it simply ignored them. The limits are still there.
Haven't gotten 3.5.3 yet, but I have been getting the 12v warnings for a couple of months now even pre recent updates. Been to the dealer, they tested the battery and said all good. Not really worrying about it for now. Seems to be just random after an overnight charging about once a week.
If you have apps that access your charging info or car data, that's been known to trigger it incessantly and cause drain, like Optiwatt (I think). If you have NO apps but FordPass, then welcome lighting can trigger it, especially if you walk by your garage with your phone in your pocket randomly triggering them. Turning off welcome lighting, which stinks, seems to fix this issue.
Run it up and down the mountain real quick....It's not good for the battery to be sitting at 100% for an extended period of time.

I don’t get home until late (after the bars close I think — I don’t actually know when that is in this state). Going down the mountain generates power. Going up? That’s the trick — 1.2 miles per kWh when I’m lucky. I leave early tomorrow as well. Wash rinse and repeat until the 9th.
Similar, they cleared it, ran the tests, said no error came back and they sent me on my way. Oh, but I now have working Alexa
