I've had my Mach E for about four years and nearly 100k miles. I've never worried about the 80% charging and always charged to 100%. I can't tell a huge difference in the range after four years.
The battery in my MB was the original Bosch so 20 years old when I replaced it.
(for general reference Lion are one of the worst battery brands out there. Exide are OK but that's far too expensive. Bosch and Varta are generally the exact same product with different stickers on and are always good, and rarely all that expensive.
I had the same issue with my MY2024 XL Hybrid constantly going into deep sleep mode. There is a recall for MY2022 and MY2023 Mavericks Hybrids due to a bad 12V battery. I took it to the dealer anyways... After their battery test, mine FAILED and they replaced the 12V with an new AGM battery (free under the OG 3yr/36k mi warranty).
Mine did this around 30k miles. The battery was swollen and definitely the problem, but all battery scanners showed that it was good
The Bosch has slightly lower Cold Cranking Amps at 330 vs the Yuasa at 360. Also Bosch has 4 yr warranty vs Yuasa 5yr.
In keeping my 07 f150 xl long bed regular cab till my feet go through the floor and I gotta push it up the exit ramps.
I met a guy with a 25, trying to get a replacement battery that has to be done at the dealership.
A $80k truck that you're basically renting from Ford because of all the gatekeeping software crap- and most of it experimental with the buyers being the test market.
I went to a Škoda dealer to look at a car to buy. The car was a Rapid 1.4 SE DSG which was advertised at £8995. The car was stored remotely from the dealer, basically in a field. The battery was completely flat.
Neighbor has a F-150 lightning.
The battery on it has been replaced twice in 3 years. Its spent a few months now cumulatively at the dealership waiting for the new batteries, and various other repairs.
Warranty covered my 2022 Mach-E battery replacement but it would've cost $12k out of pocket.
