Replying to: mperski (Dec 19, 2007 9:00 am) When your 110V Power Pack battery gets cold soaked, it must get recharged as does your regular battery you use to start the car. The engine is the fastest way to recharge both battaries. Matter of fact, the brakes provide little regeneration to the batt. Your milage will decline about 2%. So don't sweat the small stuff. Your SUV, which is more like a large sedan, gets better milage than other large cars. Bottom line is...over the course of the winter, your gas will cost you about $15 more if you drive about 5000 miles.

reply to carysbluesky   Your regular battery is not used to start your car the 330V Hybrid battery is. Regenerative braking recharges the batteries without using any excess fuel, like the ICE does. I also believe you are mistaken, the regenerative braking does quite a bit of recharging of the batteries according to my guages.

Replying to: edhedh65 (Sep 05, 2006 8:45 am) It fits perfectly. I had a Z1 installed upon taking delivery of my 06 FEH. Works great. Had it installed by a vender through the dealer; this way it's under warranty via Ford.

Replying to: mperski (Dec 21, 2007 6:30 am) Careful, the FEH will not start if the traditional 12v car battery is dead. It is needed to trip some relays that allow the 330v HVBattery to start the ICE with MG1. [But with the 12v battery constantly being recharged by the HVBattery, this should be very rare] Replies to this message: stevedebi (Dec 21, 2007 4:05 pm)

Replying to: mecheng1 (Dec 21, 2007 8:22 am) "It is needed to trip some relays that allow the 330v HVBattery to start the ICE with MG1. "   In the Toyota system, the 12 volt battery powers up the computers so that the car can start. I'm not sure about the Ford system.

Replying to: keegs54 (Dec 26, 2007 1:54 pm) 6 months is a guess.   Mark.
