LFP battery removed look

[Bdsmith10]

I went to the dealer to drop my 21 off due to the heat not working. The guy that checked me in and told me that they don’t get too many Mach Es, but there is one in the back with the battery removed and asked me if I wanted to see it. Obviously, I took the opportunity.

That is the LFP battery FYI. I haven't seen that one opened up before.

Weber State University has many great mechanical videos. Here is one regarding the Mach-e battery.

Note that the Weber video is not for the LFP battery.

Did they say why the battery was removed?

I got to see mine out & opened up when the HVBJB was done, really interesting, no cell swelling and pristine clean in there which was impressive how well sealed the battery housing actually is.

Would've been awesome if it were the world's largest CR2035 coin battery

They said the seal on the cable connector that goes to the battery was bad and water got inside and damaged the battery. They also said that Ford warranty was paying for it.

I hear you can test the voltage by putting your tongue across the contacts. You get a tingly sensation for a brief period of time ...

I'm ignorant of form factors and internal individual composition/packaging. Any sources showing what the LFP batteries look like?

I bet it costs over fifty bucks to replace that!

Needed to reset some modules after a software update and wanted to be sure the car was completely powered off.
