The topic of a larger capacity LVB has come up before. Several here suggest it will not work properly because the LVB has that little BMS to monitor state of charge. IF the LVB BMS is monitoring amps out vs amps in, and knows what that small LVB capacity is supposed to be, that may be a problem. Really depends how Ford programmed all that and I don't think anyone here knows for sure. Just speculation as far as I know.

If you try it, please do let us know how it goes.
I would think the factor is programmable!!
Any FORSCAN experts know of the coding to adjust this?

A bad BMS will completely FU the truck with ghost problems appearing in weird states impacting interface, screen, music, OTA updates, proximity sensors, etc. Somewhat like a bad condenser messing with spark ignition. An inexpensive part messing with you. Once the BMS was replaced January ’24 on our April ‘23 ER Lariat build.. all the ghost issues disappeared.

That would be nice if someone can come up with that solution. It would also be nice if it just worked off of voltage... like every vehicle on the plant has since the dawn of the battery.
