  1. Yeah, your numbers are probably accurate for a newer (non-degraded) battery. I estimate that my 2013 Fusion only has 3.6 kW available in EV mode (rather than 5.6 kW when new) based on the 4.6 kW used to fully charge the EV mode 0% to 100% at the outlet (with ~30% lost in conversion). I’m also assuming the system allocates my total battery kW this way: 0.25 Discharge protection 1.5 Hybrid mode 3.6 EV mode “0% to 100%” (5.6 kW when new) 0.25 Overcharge protection —————- 5.6 my total battery kW ~30% = 1.75 kW = 0% EV mode gauge ~50% = 2.8 kW = 30% EV mode ~70% = 3.9 kW = 60% EV mode If that seems wrong to anyone I’m all ears.
  2. Hi jsamp - I'll check out Greentec. I'm looking ahead a bit because I like this car and I'd like to support the battery refurbishment industry if it comes to that. I'd say the battery is passable. I can get 8-12 miles EV with careful driving and minimum accessories. However, it has blinked a couple of times - once the car stopped using the battery completely and another time it lost charge too quickly. To preserve the battery I'm treating it like my phone - generally keeping the total battery charge around 50% SOC (total capacity, which I think is now around 25% on the EV percentage gauge), not charging above or below 30%/70% (0% to 60% on the EV gauge) not using fast chargers often and running the engine with "EV later" when using air conditioning and heat.
  3. Hi all, We have a 2013 Energi with 121k and I'd love to hear any suggestions or experiences you have with HV battery replacement. Here's what I've found so far: Battery sellers and installers: BestHybridBatteries (no batteries in stock but provide "easy" DIY instructions with purchase?) Greentec (only hybrid, not energi batteries?) Green Bean (no Ford batteries) Others? Other used battery options: (all should be tested or warranted) eBay (full packs or individual battery cells) Major online parts dealers Junkyards So far I've found almost nothing about anyone successfully getting or installing an energi battery in a Fusion or C-Max. I understand that the batteries are expensive and DIY work is very dangerous without proper insulation. But there must be other people/shops that could test or replace cells? (Thanks and apologies if this is covered in other posts!)
