On your graph from about 8:15pm to 6:45am the next day, was the truck actively charging (energy being put into the battery) or just sitting with the charger plugged in. I suspect it finished charging at the 6:45 time frame, which matches all my previous data. One reason I set my charge station...

While I have no plans to be outside of TX for a little while, I suppose for the right incentive it is possible...

I know you are being sarcastic but honestly I would like to help everyone. It’s easier for people in TX though. I actually have helped some people on the way for business trips.

If you want to private message me, I can see if I can help you out.

Its important to keep perspective on this as well. The Sigenergy max rate is 25kW or a mere fraction of the 433 kW the drive motors can pull. The normal rate would be 11.4kW max or about 33A. Again a small percentage of the battery packs charge/discharge rate capabilities. The voltage...

Sigenergy doesn’t work with vehicles that don’t report the state of charge. It also has settings for lowest vehicle state of charge allowed.

I will disagree with most people, in that I do not believe the FCSP to be the root cause of the HIS failures. I have done a lot of testing and trials, and the issues all seem to lie in the truck software and the truck's modem. I do believe that people "over reboot" a lot of the time, and that...

With Ford discontinuing the lightning, as well as their amazing ability to deliver OTA's, I don't think we have much to worry about. I think Tesla is really going to be the one that disables it on people who previously had it working. It looks like Rivian is going to actually work to make it...

To me it looks like in your testing, you are disconnecting at the wrong place possibly. The error is indicating that your system cannot see the transfer switch box (WHB-200) when in offline mode. Can you show pictures or a diagram of your system and what breaker you are switching to test? The...

I don't think the cover makes any difference. That being said, I have had a Bak X4S since the first week of owning the truck and 63,000 miles later I still have an all time efficiency of 2.3 mi/kWh.

You should be able to use the EG4 Chargeverter as long as your batteries are 48V. You would need a way to parallel the chargeverter on to the 48V DC bus.

The EG4 chargeverter would be what you want to use.

In Houston within ERCOT territory, I pay $0.0 at nights, so all my charging is free. During the day I run off of home battery + a small solar system. Basically I only pay for a few loads like the oven/stove and dryer which are not on the battery backup system when I use those during the day...

Unfortunately you will have to bash them forever because it is not going to change. There was actually an OTA that fixed this, and then they were forced to reverse it via an actual (I believe NHTSA) recall. https://www.f150lightningforum.com/forum/threads/recall-23c38-update-sync-software.17490/

After 62k miles I fully believe that 2P is "in practice" more efficient than 1P. Both modes are equally capable, but the precise driving that would be required in 1P, especially at highway speeds, make it harder to achieve max efficiency. Now I live in Houston, and certainly bumper to bumper...

The lightning was heavily advertised for a long time. By itself for a while and then as a pick your drivetrain option.

It is sad that one of the best vehicles ever produced is in this state of flux. I blame it 100% on the dealer network and their furious pushback of not only the Lightning, but EV in general. Unfortunately dealers make 50% or more of their gross margin on service, and they know that EV's will be...

This thread is not about emergency backup power or how to do that best. It is about buying and selling based on Time of use rates to derive an income by using your EV battery. The Ford HIS and Sigenergy systems are capable of this (as well as providing emergency power) and are fair to compare...

The Delta Ex_BDI is the Ford inverter. There is no limitation in the HIS. Sunrun is just giving you the wrong info.

That statement is just plain false. I have the system and it works just fine. I would challenge them on this. This image is straight out of the inverter manual:
