I was just reading that the 12 Volt Lead Acid Battery for the ICE Starter and auto Accesories is chaged from the Plug-in Circuit, that if the Vehicle is left unplugged this Battery can go dead. So if the 12 Volt Lead Acid Battery is charged during the HVB charging, it may account for the discrepency you are finding on how much Power your are using with the 120 Charging. Not sure why using the L2 Chager would be any different. I also read on this forum that this 12 Volt Lead Acid Battery is rated at 380 AHs, Amp Hours. I tried to fin this info on the Ford Web Site to no avai. Can someone go into to their Truck and check the Rating that is marked on the 12 Volt Lead Acid Battery please so we can try recheck some Calculations. I have not purchased the Ford Fusion Hybrid Energi yet so I can not check anything on it. Would be appreciated and helpful I believe to all reading this Thread if someone that has the L2 CHarger could let us know what the Voltage Potential is at the Plug end. The Wall Plug Cable should Have 120 VAC Potential at the Plug. Also wonder what Voltage the 7.6Kw LiOn Battery is rated at, was ready that most Hybrid Battery Packs are rated at 300 VDC, but again have not found any info on this as of yet.

Was looking for info on the Ford Fusion Energi and found this site so I decided to join. I am liking what I see so far and hope to get some more info before I decide on buying a Fusion Energi. my 96 Bonneville SSEI is running fine but is starting to rust so I have been considering a Newr Car and from all I have read about the Hydrids and New Plug in Hybrids, I fell in love with the Ford Fusion Energi. Wish Trunk space were bigger (Wonder why the Bateries were not placed UNDER the Rear Seats) I am also concerned about what I have been reading about the Very small Capcity of 12V-6Cell Lead Acid Battery which users are finding to be draining fast if not constantly placed on CHarge. I will look around the Forum and if you do not mind, ask some questions and when the time times, offer some inpout as well when and where I can. Thank you for having this Forum available to us and looking forward to interacting with you members when we can. Thanks for having me here.
