What I want to see is all the cray cray people that are way over the 3 year mark come back and post when the bullet finally lands in the chamber of playing 12v roulette... I'm guessing they will just quietly replace their 12 battery, never to be seen again....lol

21 FE
Almost 4 years, about 41500 miles.
Charging about 1-2 times per week. Otherwise not plugged in (spouse's EV gets that privilege).

Recently left it unplugged outside the garage for a month while traveling. Was totally fine. This is in New England..

Yeah, I know...living dangerously. Will get the 12v battery checked at the 40000 miles service.

Original 2021, Central New York, Garage Kept, use the Ford EVSE L1 for LVB maintenance when weather is really cold.

May 2009, big fxxking diesel AGM battery in my Peugeot Turbo diesel wagon still going strong. Lightly used and on trickle charger timer during the winter. But AGM batteries do last given proper care (and maybe a good BMS system). My MME 12 v is 48 months old.

Can we reference your post when replacing the 12v battery? 53 months and counting here.

I believe it actually is the 318th day of 2020. I seriously doubt they were making that battery in 2018.

Agree, they would not have the battery sitting around for years before production. Only a couple months before. Date code is 2020.

It’s a low mileage car, but 20k city miles, 40 months and two very hot Arizona summers with a southern exposure. It’s only April, so I guess I out to change mine now before summer #3. Also, very little fast dc charging. Mostly charging 240v at 16-24 amps with new charger.
