Re: Replace 12V lead battery with lithium-ion

I've been running an Ohmmu 12V Lithium battery since March of last year and had no issues (Previously had it in my 2012 FFE, and now use it in my 2017), other than fitment the first time (Terminals sit higher, but it will fit in the same space as the lead acid battey). At the time I bought the batte...

Re: Custom battery upgrade?

You should check out ivankovff's post on here (Or his YouTube channel). I think he's increased the capacity to 55 kWh. It's an interesting build! I've attached a link to his post that he made: viewtopic.php?t=5146

Re: Is There a Way to Force Charging?

Yes, you can remove the cover for the battery while the pack is still in the car. I'd do it time to time when I to see how much quicker the car would accelerate :lol: . You'll want to remove the screws circled in green, along with the ones on the back of the cover. The front of the cover has a lip, ...

Re: Battery Availability for 2014 FFE

Unless you want to add another $3,600 to $14,000 to that price tag, you should avoid buying any Focus Electric between the model years 2012 through 2016. These are known for having issues such as a coolant leak inside the upper battery pack or having faulty 1 speed gear drives (Check the Ford Focus ...

Re: Free adapter?

I asked a Ford customer service rep in an online chat. She claims it won't exclude the 2017 through 2018 FFE's, so I guess we'll find out when one of us becomes the forum "validator" and get the adapter.

Re: Refurbished Upper HV Battery, HELP with Start-up After Install

For the BECM DTC "U3000:46" that you're getting in one of your pics, have you already did a self test on the BECM yet with Forscan after rebuilding the battery pack? If not, clear the current DTCs, and then run the self test on the BECM. (see second pic for more info from FFE workshop manu...

Re: 23kw battery replacement

ener-z sells both batteries for $1,800 each. The even offer a financing plan with shop pay. I would try to get a 2017 or higher battery, as there were quite a few of the 2012-2016 model years that got the newer 33 kWh pack after their 23 kWh pack failed. But before that, you should get in contact wi...

Have you checked https://www.car-part.com/ ? Should be under the option Year(Choose your Focus Model Year)-Ford-Focus-Hybrid Converter/Inverter-(electric vehicle, EV), converter. You'll need to sort it by highest to lowest price, as the FFE and gas Focus are mixed together in the listings. The highe...

My 2017 FFE with Method MR501 Rally Wheels

Thought I'd share some pics of the wheels on my 2017 FFE. They're Method MR501 Rally Wheels, and they're very durable and bring out the look of the FFE in white. Now I to have my windows tinted and smoked LED mirror turn signals to complete the look :P . https://i.postimg.cc/fVpCVWKs/FFE.jpg https:/...
