As several have said you will see the small percentage that have major problems report them here and elsewhere. Me? 12K on my ‘23 Lariat ER and no problems. If I did, Ford offers roadside assistance. My other truck is a 2018 F150 I keep to go to Baja in. Its about to undergo a major...

I windsurf and leave the fob in my pants in the locked truck all the time. Use the door keypad to lock and unlock the truck with no problem.

I believe Ford will reimburse you $140 if you didnt know about Ford Roadside assistance and got towed. See: https://www.ford.com/support/how-tos/ford-services/roadside-assistance/electric-vehicle-battery-roadside-assistance/

Me too. I got back after 5 months. Left the Ligtning at 49% with the 12v battery disconnected and on a trickle charger. Put it back in, started up, and SOC was 49%!

No Rick, Customer service put me on hold to talk to Engineering. True, they were relaying my question and the answers which hindered communication. Maybe we can drop this thread now?

I expected them to say the same as the manual and I hoped they would expand on why they they didnt recommend charging to protect the HV battery. They didnt.

I will add that I called Ford. They quoted the manual. Take out the 12v battery and put it on a trickle charger if you want PS - warranty on the HV battery is 8 years and 100K. Im covered if I follow the manual so its what Im gonna do. Happy storing everyone

It was a ‘trickle charger’ which I take to be a Battery render. He is a good friend. He is capable - he designed and wired his home PV system which works well. I do not have more info (age/type of battery, make of charger, status of battery maintenance, etc). Thanks

Actually I did understand that. I didn’t understand your responses. But its clear now. Thanks. Good info and advice. One caution tho - a friend had his battery on a charger for months in the car and the battery blew up. I dont think I want to risk it. what is the risk to the HV battery of...

Popular topic. Consensus has been to get an outdoor cat (we encouraged our neighbors cat to visit and it may have helped). second most common approach is reppellents. I am using ground cayenne around the tires. Seems to work. Cheaper than some commercial blends. Sometimes I add chili flakes...

thanks Monkey

oh no, I would never put the 12v on a car charger. (LV1, LV2 etc) Thks

Aha. That is what I suspected. Thanks.

Thanks Frunkmaster. Well, the first two replies give two different suggestions - you are strongly (bold) suggesting not to leave it on the charger and the next one suggests to do that. Can you help me with a why not? Is it the possibility of a charger or other failure? Thanks /thanks...

Hello group. I am storing my Lariat ER for several months. The Ford manual under 'Preparing Your Vehicle for Storage' recommends that when storing the vehicle for more than 30 days the state of charge should be 50% and they recommend disconnecting the 12 volt battery 'which will reduce system...

And maybe free Blue Cruise forever. 😆

i keep trying to press 5/6 and get nothing. I guess I dont have the ’touch’ yet…

Well, I can open mine using the keypad at the door, then reach inside and hit the button or hit the button on the tailgate. No key fob or phone required.

Agree with everything Corocket said.

You didnt tell us what your circuit limitations are. In my case I was limited to 30 amps unless I wanted to spring for a new service panel in both the house and the garage. Given my driving needs of less than 150 miles a day, a 240volt 30 amp circuit allows 24 amp charging which will top me off...
