Replacing the stock battery may be a non starter. The bms is pretty complex. What I did was add a 50ah lithium and a dc-dc charger. Charger top up the lithium when the vehicle is in “run state”, bms sees the charge current as just normal draw and tops up the agm battery normally. The lithium is...

I was intending it to be for dcfs only, making it switchable would make it too damned complex once you figure in all of the interlocking that would be required.

New information. I did not know that. Probably not worth my time then.

The alternative is installing a Tesla plug behind the “mock charge door” on the passenger side, but I’m hesitant to go cutting up my new truck 🤷🏻‍♂️. There isn’t really any electronics in the adapter as far as I know, just a few passive things like switches and temp sensors. I don’t see who...

Im kinda banking on it having bus bars inside the adapter, much easier to attach a lug to and get a solid connection.

Has anyone here tried extending their NACS adapter? I have been considering getting an adapter and cutting it in half, and extending all the connections by like 6 feet. My idea would end up with the adapter cut in two with some heavy cable (0 gauge welding cable) and some light cable (not sure...

Have a ‘23 XLT SR. I don’t fast charge all that often, really only on long trips. Just about every charger that I use on the road has been peaking at about 150kw (even on 350kw chargers), but the last couple trips I’ve taken the charger peaks out at 100kw. I know I have gotten updates on the...

Hmmmmm…, good point about the charge I wasn’t thinking for destination chargers, just fast charging on the road. What I was thinking was essentially piggy backing whatever guts are in an adapter in parallel to the existing charge port. Obviously this has a whole raft of safety and technical...

Has anyone here ever installed a ccs socket on the passenger side where the fake door is? I’ve been contemplating this but was curious what others have done

I know the lightning has the capability of multiple batteries, as it can read up to 3 12v battery monitors. That being said a dashcam shouldn’t be draining the battery too much. the lightning only monitors the float voltage of the 12v battery, so you should be able to upgrade. The only thing...

Holy crap! Those prices!!! My power is $0.49 peak, $0.43 off peak.

For what it’s worth, I just had this issue. I checked my outlet, and sure enough the ground had come loose. Fixed it up and now my charger is working fine.

I ran a mug welder off my truck the other day, does that count?

I’ve run a mig welder among other things.
