I remember reading a thread about this on here. Look up " Battery cell locations " on the forum, using the blue search button in the top right-hand corner of the forum page. The thread was created by the user Gego, and he states it is in the lower pack. He attached pics and circled the exact...

Are you using LTO cells?

I would do it every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, depending on how hard you drive it.

You may have a coolant leak inside the battery pack (usually the upper battery, the one behind the rear seats). Jack the Focus up and pull the drain plugs on the bottom of this pack and see if any coolant comes out.

You should ask ajbessinger on here. He posted about his teardown on the Focus Electric Facebook page, and I believe he is utilizing a better brand of contactors. He mentions it in one of his posts on there.

Seems some Mach E owners have started getting the adapters. The irony in that first sentence in the package "I want to personally thank you for being part of the Ford family and for joining the Electric Vehicle revolution ahead of the curve" is a slap in the face. Must be nice not getting the...

Discount Tire here in Florida mounted my BridgeStone Potenza Sport tires. Make the FFE handle like its on rails and provide very good grip for rainy conditions. They are however noticeably louder than the stock LRR tires.

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...

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: https://www.myfocuselectric.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5146

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...

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...

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.

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 manual)

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...

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...

Oh wow, nice find! So, every 6,000 miles. Guess I need to do mines also.

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 .

Have you ran a self-test on the BECM? When I rebuilt my pack, I was getting DTC's until I did a self test in Forscan.

When I rebuilt the battery in my first FFE, I was unable to drive the car because I forgot a busbar between two modules :lol: . Once I bolted that in, I ran a self test on the BECM through Forscan, and checked/cleared any DTCs. You have to go to the DTC (left side of window in Forscan) tab to...

"Reman" is remanufactured. Ford buys most of the battery packs from wrecked FFE's, takes the good modules, and builds another battery out of them.
