- Mach-E First Edition
Mach-E's 12V is AGM.Ive said this quite a few times in other threads, and I got kind of blasted for it. I really believe these EV's do not work well with standard Lead Acid batteries. They need to be AGM. All the electronics in these cars drain the batteries and Lead Acid doesnt hold up well with all these electronics. I might be wrong but I am saying this from personal experience. There no starter, no alternator so the CCA avalable with Lead Acid is not important. What is, is the ability to hold a charge and handle parasitic discharge. AGM batteries do that best.
Tesla had the ssme issues as well and its the reason they switched out all the lead acid and want to convert to Lithium. If there is one thing that I will do if I get the car before this is resolved is ask the dealer to switch to an AGM.
For those who have the car at the dealer checking this issue, Id suggest you do the same.
