Pro Power on Board notification

[BeardedOneGaming]

I have a question regarding the pro power on board feature. Since picking up my truck everything has been relatively great. The last couple days Ive been getting notifications stating that my pro power reserve setting is nearly reached. Lower the setting via the sync screen to continue using pro power on board. What is a good setting to set this to?

I take it that you're driving down your battery before doing a periodic full charge?

Adjust it as low as you would want the ability to travel without charging before departure, IE in an emergency and you must go now not wait to bring the SOC to be at a level to make a destination and or in-route charging station.

Well ive had my truck since tuesday and i wanna say thursday is when the notification came up. I was messing around trying to find the pro power onboard. I was able to see the pro power onboard setting for frunk/cabin was at <90W. Not sure what that means.

Scroll further down, you will see a setting group to adjust the reserve miles.

Mine is set to apx 55 miles, I hardly never get this low.

Plug in when you park near your charger and set the charge limit to 85 or 90%. Unless you’re going to need more range for the next day.

Okay, my battery is currently at 66% should i let it go down more?

Further above you say you will be charging at your parents after your FCSP arrives and is installed, when you visit them charge to 90%, that's what Ford suggests.

Getting back to the Pro Power warnings, were you successful in lowering the miles of reserve ?

I wouldn’t if you intend to have as much capacity available as possible for ProPower use.
Ford recommends having the battery at 50% for long-term storage. Other than that, there’s no case for intentionally letting your SoC drop below some level before charging.

Yes the notification came up when i started my truck today and asked it i wanted to lower the setting and I clicked yes and changed it to 55 miles. Thanks for your help!!
