Tommy boy

? They're both made by the same company.

Hmm, I don't know. And it wasn't saying it was going into a different mode to preserve battery or low battery or anything? It will usually say this on the screen and say remote features are disabled or something in the app.

Wasn't on a hill was it? I found out the ICE won't start or starts/stalls on an incline with less than 1/4 tank.

Same shit different day...

I'm not sure, it was between 1/8 and 1/4 both times it did this, but the low fuel light wasn't on. Yes, it's a ford branded battery I believe.

We'll see, the dealer just replaced it with an H7.

Well at least we know there doesn't seem to be any magic number around the computer reported 30-40% where it won't start. I think my start problems are likely due to low fuel on a slope.

Nice, I haven't gone that far yet. I tried an external charger and bought a Bluetooth battery monitor.

I thought my start problem was my sloped driveway and an inaccurate fuel reading. The electric motor running with no ICE is what led to my 3%. It started after I put more gas in it. It's doing strange shit. I'm pretty fed up with it at this point.

I still don't know what's wrong with mine other than the 12V battery was degraded. We'll see if it continues to have problems.

I thought you just said the truck won't start with a low HVB. Unless you meant completely discharged? In that case, maybe? I dont know.

No, I actually just drove it the day before. My 12v battery has been bad like this for a while and it still said "passed" on the dealer test the last time I took it in. They finally replaced it with a new H7 after I said it won't charge past 70%.

That's not accurate. My truck started with the HVB at 3% SOC as I just stated above.

Yeah, I've heard the flywheel starter more than once. I don't know where the low HVB causing no start idea came from unless Ford changed something recently.

It's also BS whoever claimed it won't start with a low SOC on the HVB. Mine started with that at 3%.

WTF @Ford Motor Company. 25K MILES

A bunch of stuff in your truck isn't made in the U.S. so your focus on batteries makes no sense.

Oh I thought they changed it to 90%? I guess I misread that somewhere.

Noticed my 2023 Powerboost seems to be targeting 80% charge on the 12v based on the reduction in charging amps. I thought this was the old strategy before the update?
