Battery OEM FORD or OEM Volkswagen
Starts fine even in -4F weather. Will probably swap it this year with another OE battery as oddly i have better luck with OE batteries and they tend to be cheaper than Autozone/Orielys/Advanced.
2017 got a new battery in 2023 before winter, didn't have a no start issue but figured it was time. Went with a dealer battery, was only $138ish for the 72ah upgrade and replaced it in their parking lot to get the core charge back.
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.
Update: it was just the battery, everything works fine after replacement and coding/adaptation. No error codes. Thanks everyone
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
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.
just had to get the battery replaced on our 24 bronco, same thing kept going into battery saver
2022 ID.4 in Canada. Have had two replaced. Luckily when it happened it was in my driveway for all three times. Hooked up a charger to the 12v for a few hours and it started like nothing was wrong.
The battery VW uses in the ID.4 is trash. I had it replaced under warranty in my 2021 after about 2 years when my car died in the garage and I had to get assistance. The tow truck driver got it going with a jump starter. It\u2019s now just out of warranty in year 4 and I get the \u201cLow 12V\u201d warning on cold days.
