Maybe I'll just do the H4 conversion. At least you can get the H4's quite a few places.

Back to the drawing board on replacing the battery affordably. Costco says Interstate cancelled my order and they are on back order. They say 3-4 weeks before they can get one.

Oh, I'm changing it for sure with the Interstate H3 I just ordered. Im just saying there a zero symptoms other than the software abort every niight. It's funny however that when I called Ford they were adamant that I just needed to drive more. When I asked if it could just be a failed battery...

What's kind of weird is that other than the automatic software updates not installing, the truck operates totally normal in all aspects.

Already have the Genius 5 I used to try and rescue to factory battery. (Unsuccessfully)

Ordered an Interstate H3 from one of my local Costco stores today. $149.99. Costco shows that it has a 3 year prorated warranty, but Interstate's website shows 36 month replacement. https://www.interstatebatteries.com/product-search-results/2024-ford-f-150-lightning-l4-l

Anybody notice that Ford's website is out of these batteries and a few online dealers show them as being discontinued? Maybe there's a new model battery coming out soon?

So answer me this: After I ran the repair procedure with the Noco 5 my battery measured 12.98 volts, yet the software update aborted due to inadequate battery charge.

I ran the repair charge with the Noco 5. Battery voltage was 12.98V after the procedure, but the update still postponed when I ran it so I don't think it's going to take with this battery. I was unable to reset the BMS. I tried the procedure several times and never got the battery light to flash...

I don't have a battery tester, only a volt meter. If the OTA software installs, then the procedure nursed the battery back into the normal range. If not, then the quarterback is toast.

Ordered and received a Noco 5. Going to try it and see if I can improve the battery health enough to run the update. Should I reset the bms after I reconnect the battery cables after running the desulfication process on the Noco 5?

Anybody try a charger with a Desulfation mode to resurrect one of these factory batteries back to proper SOC range?

I setup an appointment with my local dealership's mobile service to replace the battery under warranty. They callwd and told me I'd have to bring my truck in and leave it for that. They said mobile service can only do recalls and service work. But they can't do the ball joint recall either so I...

Yeah, I've done all that and it still won't update. I called the Ford number on the update failed message yesterday and the lady said my battery is below 80% and I just need to go drive it 30 minutes or so. I'm going to do that today but I had it on a maintenance charger yesterday until the...

My 2024 has not been able to do the latest software update for almost 2 weeks now. I have the auto updates set for 1AM. I've driven the truck with no change and yesterday I used a maintenance battery charger on it until it showed 100% charged which was 12.6-12.7 volts by my volt meter. It still...

Check with other dealers. Those prices are horrible.

How about a used Maverick Hybrid instead of a Prius for your backup vehicle?

"Public sentiment for EV's is dying in this country"? I'm not seeing that. Unless you are in the club that is about 33% of the country, and then you probably never considered one in the first place.

These poll results just go to show you that Farley may be Fairly Far off. :p

I'm pretty sure there are federal regulations that require them to carry replacement parts for something like 10 years. Also, Ford themselves have sold quite a few Premium Care extended warranties and will continue to offer that until the last 2025 Lightning is sold so their Dealers will still...
