As is see all submisions have 33kwh packs. Mine 2014 still rolling in europe. Done 80k miles with 24kwh pack. Remaining usable capacity is around 15kWh :D I'm waiting for leak in a battery. Had to open lower battery pack once, becouse of aluminum connector pad corrosion.

For me better solution was full led lense assembly. (Although my headlights is from I.C.E. focuses). I converted from H7 halogens to full led. Light is awesome and I dont blind anyone. But I had to modify my headlights to do this. I bought lense assembly from aliexpress.

Luckily mine focus is imported from USA and has all the controls (e.g. go times for preheating), and when I have heated windshield, I don't use blower at all. Heated seat + warm glowes + heated screen = maximum possible range. :D

If you think only adding upper pack, you won't be getting voltage required for charge dump method. Becouse upper pack is connected in series with lower battery. If you want to add only upper pack, you must modify it's internall connection of cells to match full battery voltage (380v) and...

I finally done the heated windshield modification. Of course pity that I had to wire my own system instead of using ford's oem windshield control. But everything works as intended and overall i am satisfied. In cabin everything looks an feels like oem. (Button, negative connetion wires). It...

I'm skipping the programing part, couse i had no luck with forscan or focccus apps. Our focus has a bit different layout of modules. (Like 12v battery management is in BdyCM, becouse BECM is for high voltage battery). I made simple timer box with oem relay and fuses, and i will use original...

There was no wires to bcm (no for button, indicator or relay). The relay works when i press max defrost on hvac. But the button i wired to bcm does nothing.(does not turn on relay, no indication) My 12v battery is 58% charged, hope it's battery fault. All space in relay block is used (for some...

Hi. I'm from europe and we have cold winters. Heater uses a lot of energy and i only need clear windshield. Edit: See last post how it was done. So I'm going to retrofit instaclear ford windshield. Maybe there is someone who knows more information for electric part. I saw ICE focuses...

I brought chinese key to locksmith, and he told me that key has wrong transponder chip. Chinese:ID46, Original: 6E. And yes, there is key programming in forscan for our focus.

Hi. Maybe some of you guys have expierence in programming new keys with forscan? I am connecting to RFA module, entering "key programming RKE + PATS" option, waiting until i get security permission, insert chinese key into transponder ring, and after that, i get error "PATS programming failed"...

Thanks for great info about charging. I still need confirmation, that supplementary battery is connected in parralel with original battery? I can not believe it's so simple. Voltages should be around the same, or supplementary pack has to have higher voltage? If that is true, as long as my pack...

I wuold like to revive this thread as i have some questions. I'm electrician automation worker and just bought 2014 ffe. It drives just fine, but i am concerned about how to renew it's battery. Did you just connected external battery dc output to inner battery dc output in parralel? You have to...
