Long story short- There is an interlock connector inside your plug housing. When it breaks it can disable charging and give a p0d98. You can install a 1k ohm resistor between the computer control wires which will fool the computer to give you back level 1 and 2 charging. The interlock shows 1k...

The compressor should have nothing to do with an overnight charge. It only kicks in when the battery needs it and only at level 2 and 3 charging. Use your included 110 charging cord if it doesn’t make it to at least 80 miles your battery has issues. Call Ford customer service and request a...

Just fyi. Ford warranty buy back has there own dept. that makes decisions outside of the dealer. My car was repaired but the repurchase dept still offered a buy back.. It just takes a phone call to customer service to initiate a buy back request….

Unfortunately it’s all corporate on these for repair approval… Been thru it..

Battery is covered for 70% capacity at 8 years 100k. That is ruffly 20Kw to empty on a full charge.Yours is showing the classic signs!! Your a month or two away from a variance code….Ford dealers all have to go thru corporate to get approval to repair these. They will also buy these back rather...

Any cells left? Thanks

I had a response on Facebook that they are different with a higher density module being used so the size factor between the packs stayed the same. Prepping for future pack repairs by figuring out what and where to find modules for the batteries to change out failing cells….Thanks

Anybody know if the cells are interchangeable between the small and large battery packs? Thanks

You should still be under warranty!! Take it in and get a refurbished pack.

I started the process while waiting to get the battery replaced. (Took almost 2.5 months). They approved the buyback the day they fixed the car. Ford said they would still proceed with buy back…

First thing you need to do is check your warranty date on Ford.com. These batteries do not degrade because of use like stated by others there are 2 cells that seem to take the brunt of charging and discharging. Warranty battery packs run anywhere from 24Kw up to around 27Kw (available) If you’re...

The main problem with these batteries is they will have a slight degradation then fail within a couple weeks. I just had my 2017 replaced under warranty and also received a buyback offer from Ford. I went from 100 miles range to low 60 in 2 months. With the yellow wrench lit…These batteries have...

Hi all, Trying to make decision. Ford is offering a buy back on my 2017 focus. I have 2 options. Accept a 70% of my original purchase offer (return car) or 20% offer and keep car with replacement battery and 10k miles left of warranty. What would you do? Thanks

For all who get p0d98 there is a workaround that I and other members have used… Ford requires replacement of the entire charging harness. This is only an issue in models with level 3 charging capabilities…It requires installing a 1k ohm resistor to fool the computer to allow level 1&2 charging...

Your battery should still be under warranty… Till 2025…Need to find in service date for when in 2025 it expires….

If I was a betting man I would say it’s around 14.5 to 15kW and at that mileage. It has been replaced… My 2017 was at 72 miles of range and 17kW when it went to Ford for a replacement…..88k on the clock. Ps. It’s still there….

2016 focus battery range was 76 miles…. Only 2017 and 2018 have the bigger 33.5kW batteries….

What are the codes? Do you get flashing lights and code p0d98

Are you getting flashing lights and code P0d98? Semi common problem is the interlock! This can both disable level 3 charging and eventually level 1&2. Ford claims this part is unserviceable but it can be fixed for level 1&2 charging for less than a dollar.. let me know…. For all 3 for a little...
