Give it a few more hours

Another interesting charging quirk I found lately is when plugging into a level II and the battery is cold the first hour of charging although at full rate, I will lose 2 to 4% instead of gaining. I assume that’s going to heat the battery pack, but thought shore power would be sufficient at 40 A

Yes, the initial phase of charging is warming the battery to minimum safe temps to charge, I've noticed the overhead has increase with my daily charging as compared to spring, summer and fall when I generally only charge weekly, much lower losses for AC/DC conversion and for the battery warming.

It didn’t say which day

Yep, 99-100% is where the truck balances the cells/modules in the pack. If you haven't done it for a while, it can take hours. The truck doesn't give you anything accurate to estimate the time either. It took 3 hours in my last run since I hadn't taken it to 100% for a couple of months. It kept stepping out the time as the estimated time came and went.

Note there are a number of other posts where this extra time to go to 100% messes with departure time preconditioning.

Ya, I charged over night, went to bed before the charge session started. In the morning,
Pisses Me Off Ford Pass App No Longer Shows The kW Used To Charge The Lightning, By The Time I Check It In The Morning. That Screen With The Rate, Time Duration, Miles Added, And Kw Used, Does Not Even Show Under The Energy Tab, AND Under Charge History It Has One From 10 Days Ago, But NOT From 5 Hours Ago,,,The kWh Added For This Session Is A "Best Guess", Subtracting My Usual Overnight Usage (Electric Meter)(6 KwH) From The Morning PG&E Reading(48 kWh), I Really Need To Get A Power Monitor Installed For At Least This Circuit.
Note: after watching that Tesla Cold charge video above, I'm coming to the conclusion that the Lightning Display information SUCKS, we get so little info from this vehicle....

Agreed, I don't like how they hide the active charge session details once the session goal has been met.

I've been lucky to see the data in the charge history log a few minutes afterward, but on rare occasion a record can go missing.

If you're using the FCSP, that log file is usually pretty accurate for total energy sent to the truck.

Energy dispensed
4.1 kWh for pre-charge battery warming & losses for traction charging
12.0 kWh for traction
2.1 kWh for remote climate start

That is really hard to read.

The delay on charging info is irritating, I must wait a day to record what happened. Not as irritating as the non functioning Navigation is tho ....

I've not had that problem in over 6+ months, it's just a few minutes these days for both Fordpass and FCSP energy log!!!!

I just checked if my Fordpass is up to date, it is. Current charge history stops on 12/19/24 and I plug-in every time I return to the garage and top off ready for the next "adventure". Not a big problem, just a irritant.

I wonder if there is an approval / consent switch off on your connected service on the Sync screen?
