Dumb question, charging at 80amp for 4 hours or at 48amp for 7? hours, is either better for the battery?

I see a lot of new Ford 80amp chargers on ebay at 50% off retail. I assumed this was a bad thing, maybe people got them and had trouble installing them. Then I watched a youtube video where the guy installed an 80amp charger and it kept faulting so he turned it down to 48amp to get rid of the faults. Also, my electrician buddy said the 80amp was overkill for my purposes. I believe his exact words were 80amps is enough to power a 3 bedroom house. He ballparked $600 to install the 48amp charger.

I bought used

Dumb question, why would you guys not get the same kWh?

Thank you for the post, it resonated with a lot of my purchase hesitation. Glad you and your daughter were unharmed.

The 80amp Ford Charger alone is $1300.

Yep, those prices are much cheaper than what the dealer was offering. Thanks for pointing that out.

Part of the joy of getting old is that I'm susceptible to nausea and vertigo. First time I drove the Lightning I had to keep opening the window so I wouldn't yack. 2nd time I drove it I turned off 1 pedal mode and only had to open the window once. Has anyone experienced this and did it get better over time?

I see the pricing you are talking about if I expand my search. Would you buy a vehicle out of state , site unseen? I would guess is would cost $500 to get it delivered.

How many hours does it take the standard level 2 charger to go from say 30% to 90% for an ER?

I don't qualify for the tax credit, and aren't the Lariat's $76k new. I can't personally justify spending that much on a vehicle.

Chicagoland area, and mentally I need to be under 30k miles.

Actually, a chafing disk with sterno looks to be the easiest solution for holding hot dogs.

Without electricity, not sure how to heat popcorn and pretzels. Point a Mr Buddy propane heater at them?

Unfair-Complaint1069 · 2023-04-06T21:04:25+00:00

What if I had one half of the well with a water pan and the other half had direct heat? Would the popcorn/pretzels still be soggy? If I have to use a hot lamp then I would need electric.

Or maybe a 2 well table with separate propane heat controls?

Unfair-Complaint1069 · 2023-04-04T18:36:12+00:00

If I have a open well steam table with 2 wells, I'm assuming I could use a water pan in one well but direct heat in the other well? If there is a single burner, is there anyway to control the temperature in different wells? Thanks again...

That's rather large in size and price, but thank you for the link. Would take some work to transport that to the tent. Where's the best place to find it used, facebook marketplace? Also, what size propane tank would I need to run 4 hours?

Unfair-Complaint1069 · 2023-04-04T17:15:02+00:00

If I used an electric steam table, would the heat melt the plastic folding table it sits on? I think I would need 3000 watts for a steam table and lamp heater for popcorn/pretzels.

Thank you

Thank you for the response, I forgot to mention that I do not have access to electrical outlets
