BATTERY PERCENTAGES NOT MATCHING

[Psmith7279]

hello

i am running into an issue ever since I was able to download the latest software 6.8.0

Specifically, I set my charging to 70%. Yesterday as an example, when the charge complete notification it says it is at 100%. Then when I turned the vehicle on it said 100%. Once I put my foot on the break to start the vehicle and drive it said battery was at 64%.

It has been consistent saying charge is at 100% both in the truck and on the app and when I try to fix the percentage slider on the app it will not recognize the change.

Is anyone running into this discrepancy between truck, the different displays, and on the app?

One last note, I just did another charge and changed the range to 80% and within minutes it says it charged to 100% but when I unplugged it, it capped at 64%.

Thank you

Did you have the high voltage battery [HVB] serviced recently, module(s) replaced?

Hi - yes I did. How did you know?

This is a symptom of a repair where the technician did not fully balance the replacement module to the rest of the pack, it'll catch up over the next several weeks, continue driving & charging, requesting the normal SOC you desire, eventually it should stabilize. If it doesn't after a month contact you servicing dealer.

I appreciate the guidance and suppor, thank you!

I have the exact same issue since I had a module replaced last week. Since there is a pack balancing procedure for a reason, are there any potential issues down the road with not having done the proper balancing procedure?

I have the exact same issue - also recently had a module replaced. In my case I am set to charge to 90, the FordPass app says 100 after charging, but the truck shows 87 when I power it on.

I haven't read anyone report long term issues since this is all new, IMHO they loosened the procedures to allow the tech's to move the project to closure sooner as a way of dealing workload backed up in high volume workshops.

I suspect the technical team evaluated the minimum safe tolerances and rolled the dice. With an 8 year 100K warranty backing us up I'm not concerned.
