The problem is that there is no line communication. That is not how they implimented it. That is why systems like Sigenergy are much better, because they do use the hard wire lines through the charge cable (CCS1 protocol). There is zero chance that Ford is going to change anything else now on...

So I had no issues with either recent update but I was not charging at the time I updated. It seems like the people with issues had a charge session going when it tried to update.

My earlier post about receiving this is incorrect. I received only the 25.8.5 version.

I got this update a couple of days ago. I just did not post it in the other related threads.

There is the possibility of a very dangerous condition. If you were to touch a grounded part of the truck and a grounded part on the house (any electrical box or metal conduit), you would become a parallel neutral conductor with actual return current going through your body. This is why the...

I have a fairly detailed post about my Sigenergy battery system and using its generator input with the truck here: https://www.f150lightningforum.com/forum/threads/sigenergy-pointguard-home-system-with-generator-input-pro-power-onboard.28473/ Once I switch to the V2X model, I will do another...

I didn't say that pre-conditioning doesn't work. I stated that I don't think you would notice much difference. I will concede that my experience is mainly in hot weather, and not cold, and that I also have the max tow package and dual coolers. That being said, I will nearly guarantee that with...

I have both the Ford HIS system as well as a Sigenergy battery system (since March of last year). I don't have the Sigenergy V2X yet, but have done enough research and talked to enough people that I have one on order that should be here within a few weeks. There are lots of videos on the...

I have road tripped thousands of miles including many 15+ hour days, and I have never pre-conditioned the battery. I am not convinced you would ever notice a difference between pre-conditioned or not. My peak charge rates on Tesla was always above 175kW even doing sometimes 9-10 charge...

Get a Sigenergy V2X system. It is sold in Canada and works great with the lightning.

Leave the truck on for like 6 hours+ (just turn off lights, any ac/heat, etc.). That should help a lot to charge the 12V battery.

Try just leaving the truck on overnight. That should work if the battery isn’t complete toast. This has worked for me in the past.

I just received this update today. First update in a while.

Do not get this system. Get your money back. I own the Ford system and it only works with a lightning. Instead go with something like Sigenergy V2X that does a better job and will work with lots of EV's now and in the future.

Just checking in on this one.........:unsure:
