Coop charge issues

[Dylancch]

So I have tried 3 seperate coop 100kw chargers and the most I can get is 40 kw. Says the battery management is limiting power. Anyone else have this issue

Power management not battery

Are you at 75% soc? Then that's probably part of the reason....

The car only hits FAST fast charging (120+kw) if the following occur:
1. It’s hot outside, aka the battery is pretty warm. Otherwise once you plug in the car will start to warm the battery and by the time the battery is warmed up, you’ll be at a higher state of charge causing the charging to slow.
2. The battery is pretty low, say less than 30%. Think of Charging a battery like Osmosis. If the battery doesn’t have any charge, it’s easy to get some in. Happens fast. As the battery begins to fill, it gets harder for the solute (charge) to cross into the battery. Forcing it to happen creates heat. Force it to happen too fast, and you’ll get too much heat and toast your battery (or at least degrade your battery life). So Ford protects your battery for you by slowing the charging speed as you approach 80% and cutting it back to level 2 charging speeds once you hit 80%.
3. All the above is if the charger itself is functional and rated for 150kw or so. Slower chargers or bad equipment on that end will effect things negatively as well. I am seeing a lot of older chargers advertised as DCFC that are only 50Kw.

it's because the chickens aren't running fast enough on the treadmills in the coop.
