DCFC precondition temp

[Firn]

For those who monitor your car regularly, what temp do you see the battery warmed to when preconditioning for DCFC?

Firn, this has been discussed in a number of threads. Unless something changed in a recent update, the Lightning does not precondition the HV battery. Only the MachE has this feature.

Uh, what? If “the Lightning does not precondition the HV battery”, why on earth would Ford explicitly say that it does? Furthermore, this has been discussed at length on Reddit and the various F150 Lightning forums, and this is the first time anyone has suggested that it’s only the Mach-E that preconditions for DCFC. Mparz00- please kindly cite your sources.

I have monitored my battery a few times while using Google Maps for nav to a DCFC and CarScanner for the data.

HVB temp has only risen to 59.8 deg F from a starting point that was 48 deg F.

The AC compressor (heat pump) and coolant heater (resistance heat) both are active and using power during this time.

OK, that makes sense, thank you!

I need to try this experiment. I have the update that allows Android Auto to trip plan and preconditin the battery, and also a scanner. I don't know the temp, but I can tell you I have had significantly improved charging when using the system, so I accept that pre-xonditioning the HVB is in fact taking place even though I have not checked the battery temp before charging.
