Help please. Do I have a battery problem?

You can also go through all the string voltages (your app says cell, but it is really strings) to see if you notice a difference in them. There are 192 strings in the pack.

You are referencing our Ioniq 5 right? The Lightning ER has 96 cells and I've found now way to see them in Forscan or Car Scanner. I assume torque won't show them either. It's weird because FDRS can see them.

Good time to rent a SUV.

Thanks but I'll take the risk and save $2,500 on rental and gas.

Thanks Tony. We either risk it or cancel our vacation. Based on my testing that I did we are going to risk it. Our other vehicle is an Ioniq 5 and the roads have bad flood damage at our place in Montana so we have to have a truck or high clearance vehicle for this trip. Ford won't give me a loaner for the trip.

When you received the fault did turning the truck off and back on get you going again? I am going to monitor the voltages during the trip to see if they get any worse and we will be charging below 80% for most of the trip.

I also have the ability to clear faults with Forescan.

Hi there. This battery voltage concern doesn’t sound like something we want you to experience with your Lightning truck. Could you please send us a PM with your VIN and the name and location of your Ford dealer? I'd be happy to look into how I can assist you on my end.
