You need to monitor the battery pack temperature, amps used, state of charge via third party hardware or FordScan software in an attempt to minimize issues. The Energi does not have an adequate thermal regulatory system to keep the battery pack cells at a safe temperature during the warm summer months.
If the battery is not fully charged or if the automatic synchronisation does not happen, the state of charge value will start to drift and will eventually not represent the actual state of charge of the battery. The following parameter (s) will have an effect on automatic synchronisation if they have been set incorrectly:
Fully charge the battery and see if the state of charge eventually indicates 100%. Another possibility is that the charged voltage setting should be lowered and/or the tail current setting should be increased. It is also possible that the battery monitor synchronises too early.
The temperature coefficient (delta T) is the percentage the battery capacity changes with temperature when temperature decreases to less than 20°C (above 20°C the influence of temperature on capacity is relatively low and is not taken into account). Typically, the reduction, compared to the capacity at 20°C, is 18% at 0°C and 40% at -20°C.
When the battery temperature drops below the "set relay" value for more than 10 seconds the relay will close. When the battery temperature rises above the "clear relay" value, the relay will open (after a delay, depending on the Relay minimum closed time and/or the Relay off delay settings).
The battery is considered as fully charged once the charge current has dropped to less than this “Tail current” parameter. The “Tail current” parameter is expressed as a percentage of the battery capacity. Note that some battery chargers stop charging when the current drops below a set threshold.
Make sure the correct temperature sensor is used. The MultiPlus temperature sensor does not work with the battery monitor. Make sure the temperature sensor has been connected the right …

If the Hive hub does not connect, try restarting it by unplugging the power supply and waiting for about 30 seconds before plugging it back in. ... For instance, the Nest …
Strangely the battery is charging from the solar panels, but obviously not at a high rate due to patchy snow on the panels and limited sunshine. Givenergy say to monitor it …
As for HEV not fully charging the battery (to maximum allowed charge), I always assumed that this was to leave room for regeneration, as it would be a waste of gasoline to …

I''ve noticed the cooling fan (under rear seats) running during charging and in hot weather. But as far as I know there''s no comprehensive battery temp. management system like the Bolt or Tesla. Still better than the …
Recommended way to check is to charge to 100% and then read the Remaining Energy or equivalent and compare with what it would have been on a brand new model with same battery. e.g. for EV6 it is 74500 or so at …
To my dismay, I began to notice strange occurrences in the data. Below is a screenshot of the battery charge level from last night - at 0:40, the battery level indicated that it was 34% full. However, just five minutes later, …
The in-car app that displays energy usage does not change when battery heater is enabled. I expect it to jump 4-5 kW in consumption. This can be explained by battery heater …
Is there some configuration change or parameter I''m not seeing in the Cerbo GX that can display and store the battery temp info? I don''t necessarily need all 4 battery temps, …
For the best performance, it is advised to maintain the temperature of an EV battery pack between 15 o C and 35 o C. According to the US Office of Energy Efficiency & …
Alas, battery temperature (as reported to Venus by the BMV or Smart Shunt''s battery temperature sensor) does not have the same functionality. It really should! ...
