I bought my Mach-E only 8 days ago.
It was one of those stuck at rail yards (I believe it's October build)
Unlike some folks my 12V battery was not dead on arrival.
I picked up the car on Jan 14th and have had no issues (plugged in 110V every night).
Wife drives around 6 mile RT every day.
Since I read problems with LV battery (particularly on older builds), I bought the battery monitor from Amazon.
Here are the readings.
Car was turned off but main screen on reading 12.23-12.24V
When car turned off the interior lights and everything 12.43V
According to the graph on the meter it's 50-75% range.
Questions:
Is this a normal range?
Do I need to trickle charge battery to pre-condition and bring it up to 100% level (12.6V)?
Temps are cold here 20s.
