Yeah, common wire for low voltage. From the Ford-Charge-Station-Pro-Installation-Guide.pdf:

When I was under the mistaken impression it was doing it over the power line, it seemed logical that it might just be simplified and automated. Now that I realize how convoluted the FCSP/HIS architecture is and the actual trigger occurs over Bluetooth I am doubtful. I guess fingers crossed...

Well that was a short lived exercise in futility. Fingers crossed one of the other companies working on V2X have cheaper, more reliable options. It sounds like even paying a premium for the update and what seems like overpriced gear for the HIS, it still probably wouldn't work trouble-free...

You're saying you checked the HV terminals in the FCSP and there was no voltage? So close! I never considered it would tell the truck to close the contactors over Bluetooth. I figured for some reason it would communicate over that powerline protocol ("HomePlug Green PHY power line" or whatever...

No... I was hoping for something better than this. It sounds like you can power it down for 40 minutes and try again. I think you have to hold the reset button until some light turns white. I won't insult you with search results to this form and other member's woes of getting the thing setup...

Please be very careful, 400VDC is nothing to trifle with. 240VAC will sting you enough to remember it for a while, 400VDC bites, won't let go, and it might be a trip to the ER. I can't wait to hear back how it goes!

And a pony! That should just about cover it all. Have you actually tested the FCSP with dark start yet? Excluding EV charging we're in the sub 20 kWh/day range. We can probably shed some of that in an extended outage. We should be able to get 2-3 days of runtime on a 90% charge of the SR 98...

It seems like the Lightning will only charge at 11 Amps on a Level 1 (120V) charging source, regardless of what the the charger advertises for capability. It sounds like some users have had success running 240V to the 5-15 plug/head to get ~3KW charging (240V X 11A)?. The plug/head dictates how...

Exactly my thinking. I'm pretty sure I haven't seen the battery voltage exceed 400V, I believe it was closer to 367VDC when fully charged but your mileage may vary. I bought a PowMr Solar hybrid Inverter 3200W 24VDC to 220-230VAC,Built in 80A MPPT Solar Charge Controller,Off-Grid Pure sine Wave...

There is a working theory that one could connect a 12v battery to the "dark start" terminals on the Ford Charge Station Pro, and when power is lost it would close contactors to the DC charger. I'd love someone who has one to test this theory as the FCSP would be extremely interesting to me if it...

So... I might have an option to get some credit for the mobile charger against a deal on the FCSP. If anyone knows if you can have it export DC power from a truck without the rest of the HIS, I'd love to know before shelling out any extra money. The FCSP alone doesn't help me much over a $3xx...

No plans to travel at the moment but I'll keep this thread in mind if I do. I suspect you could just hit the DC terminals in the FCSP with a volt meter, just be careful 100s of volts of DC is no joke. DC bites and holds way more than equivalent AC does. If the stats are right, my truck is...

New Hampshire, should only take about 25 hours to drive. Excluding charging stops. :) How confident are you this should work? I see a used FCSP on eBay at the moment for around $750. I'm not sure it's the best use of my money, especially given the recent accessory spending on top of stretching...

Has anyone tried this or gotten anything similar working? I want to extract DC via the charge port, and 20 A @ HV battery voltage should be fine. I'd even spend a premium for a FCSP if it's as easy as wiring that up and putting a 12V battery on the dark start terminals. Even better would be...
