Well a week later, no start stop which is fine, but voltage back down to 12.53. From 12.8. So basically it’s just still dropping. I don’t drive much but my wife’s cx5 doesn’t have this issue. Granted her car isn’t as technically robust as mine but still has same driving patterns if not less...

Yeah I’ve been wanting to pick one of these up but not for what they’re charging. Once they’re around $100 or so, I’ll bite. Glad to hear you’re enjoying it though. If it could make things full screen I’d buy at whatever cost lol

Press start button but don’t press the brake.

Sorry all, hate to bring this up again. But after using a battery tender and bringing my voltage up, should I do the BSM for that? Or is that only when a new battery is inserted.

Happens every so often in my ST. Never persists.

Have you reached out to the FP team? They should know.

After using my new battery tender all night, I went up from 12.4 to 12.8. No start stop in my 15 min of driving this morning but it was cold out. We shall see. At least it’s up to full charge now and hopefully it remains full.

Yeah that does look nice. Might look at the regular version with just the alligator clamps. I don’t expect to use it all the time if this works.

Thanks. I was thinking of picking this guy at Home Depot. Nothing advance but seems to be a smart one at least https://www.homedepot.com/p/DEWALT-Professional-2-Amp-Automotive-Battery-Charger-and-Maintainer-DXAEC2/316426768

Awesome info, thanks! I mentioned the octane piece cause I had a FP representative tell me dropping down below premium can put a hole in the piston. I have no idea. I’ve gotten use to the premium prices at this point. The performance is worth it.

What battery tender/maintainer are you guys using? Was watching a video on YouTube and now I’m definitely convinced I need to get my battery charged up. By running at below 100%, sulfonization is what happens and ruins the battery. News to me at least lol but it makes. Also, seems like 2amp...

Very cool! Any other good info? 93 octane truly a requirement? Towing really not ideal? No idea if you could know that from what you do and can see but worth an ask as it’s been addressed here before. Either way, whatever ford did or didn’t do, the tune has made a very noticeable difference in...

I absolutely would not have this done on your 22. Between the forums and all the Facebook pages, I have yet to hear from anyone with a 22 that has had this issue.

I saw it when logged into the ford website. Not the app. I have a 22 that has never had the issue. I will for sure be demanding that ford NOT install this update. Not sure why 22s are even included on this update.

Yet my explorer never felt like this even brand new. So I don’t think so.

I need to time mine now but I swear that within a minute, everything is up and running on mine.

Much appreciated it! I’m still guessing at least 95% of owners will never do this nor will they ever know about it.

What do you mean "reset the battery life". Before my ST, even my last explorer(2017), I needed a battery once in that car when all the electronics completely shut down on me. Replaced it and was good as new. Never had to reset anything. I guess I am trying prepare for my ST battery does go...

thanks for the insight. Anything special to do when using a battery tender? My dad has one so was just going to borrow his. Just hook it up to the positive/negative terminals and let it sit overnight? So when you switch to a new battery, the system resets as needed by sitting overnight? I...

I’ve been thinking about hooking mine up to one for a night to try and get it back up to full charge. Mine has been sitting around 12.4/12.5. Auto start stop still doesn’t run. Otherwise no issues. I decreased the recording frequency of my dash cam when parked. So I’m wondering if a good charge...
