Re: Replace 12V lead battery with lithium-ion

Hello everyone, I have a 2014 FFE and we're getting a little tired of replacing the 12V lead battery every three or so years. Has anyone put in a lithium-ion battery instead? My electrical engineer husband doesn't see why we shouldn't because: You don't need power to "crank" the engine Th...

Personal data privacy

Here's an article by Mozilla on the voluminous quantity of data that's collected by, and the failure of, some 25 top car manufacturers to protect the customer data that is collected. Some actually share or sell it. According to the article, none of the companies encrypt any or all of the data. I pos...

Re: Lifting Points

There is something called a pinch weld block that can rest on the jacking plate of a floor jack which in theory straddles the pinch weld. However, the welded flange on the FFE is about 7/8" deep and I haven't seen blocks available that have a groove that deep. In addition, the plastic trim cove...

Re: care for older battery

Thank you for the several perspectives. The car wasn't cheap, but if I can get reliable use for 4 years I'll be content. The price was equivalent to (relatively low) early-COVID CA prices before the 30 to 40% increase that paralleled the economic recovery & gas price inflation. The charge time i...
