Battery life

[HuntingPudel]

Thank you. Can that be done with L1 (120 volt) charging?

Yes, it just takes a lot longer to charge. The idea is to get the car to think its battery is nearly empty and then to bring it up to where it thinks it’s at 100%, then let it sit for at least 8 hours so that it can rebalance everything. ??

Echo the posters above. Could be a problem with your EVSE or wiring and it’s de-rating the charge speed from overheating or some other issue.

But also unless you are truly using down to 20% from 95% everyday, there is no need to wait until 20% before plugging in to charge. Set a lower limit and plug in every day to recharge, which is 1) healthier for the battery and 2) less stressful on your EVSE and wiring because you aren’t pushing out high voltage/amperage for such long periods at a time which means less heat build up.

I do plug in everyday, usually have around 50% left.

So what Charger did you recently have installed?

Ford connected charge model LJ98-10C823-AD

I wouldn’t worry about. Not that there is anything you could do to change it other than change your target charge to 96%.

The % of charge is just an estimate.

Did you get the 10.2 update OTA yet? It supposedly makes the state of charge % more accurate so maybe that could explain why it’s different than before.

Also could just be an outside temperature change from when the car was charged and when you look at the %.
