New Battery and SOC 100%

[Cobraman428]

My 21 PB is on its 3rd 12V battery since 12/2021.
Got a new battery under 3/36 warranty for the truck while it was at the dealership waiting on rear hubs/axles. After 3 weeks sitting around at the dealership the battery was dead. The battery was replaced 24 months ago. Most of the time the battery SOC was around 62%, so today I checked it and SOC 100%. Haven't seen it at 100% ever. Now I'm waiting on the new OTA for the BMS changes. I hope this battery lasts longer than 2 years. I know most battery don't last more than 3 years in Florida.

I bit the bullet and just bought a Walmart H8 AGM battery instead of dealing with ford warranty a 3rd time. It's been great ever since.

It's a OBDLink MX+ with app you download and then you setup your screen using PIDs. This one has all the FORD PIDs included.

I figure I will get a different battery after my warranty period ends, but right now I've gone through over $700 worth of MC Batteries. The first one was because it was dealership for 8 weeks and died from sitting, the second one lasted 2 years in the Florida heat. I hope to get 3 years since FORD has change the BMS software on the truck.
