Obtained digital battery tester a month ago. The attached image is what showed 28 days ago. Followed the "recharge" suggestion from the meter and then retested everything seemed fine. Drove it out to the field, about 45 minute drive from my house without issue. Visited with friends for 6 hours. Edge wouldn't start, click click click. Used my jump starter, started up and drove home. During the drive home auto dimming message came on and dimmed my instrument lights. Could hardly read the speedometer. Next morning voltage on the battery was 12.5 and tester now showed "BAD" not "REPLACE" but "BAD", really! well there was no way I wasn't going to replace it! Did so and reset BMS.

Hi, was the problem found and fixed? I have a 2018 similar Edge. thanks

Is there a terminal I can clip a 12 volt power source on and maintain the vehicle's memory? Can I use the cigar lighter socket? If I attach a 12 volt power source to the cigar lighter socket while disconnecting the battery will that maintain the vehicle's memory? Thanks

My 2018 Titanium came with a nice paper copy in the glove box. No idea when they stopped doing it.

Yeah, that's what I figured. Wasn't sure if it prevented power from going in or just turned off for power coming out. I'll have to use the aligator clips and go to the battery and ground under the hood. Thanks

Purchased a Solar powered battery maintainer to maintain my battery while my 2018 Edge is parked in the parking lot. It came with a cigarette lighter plug adaptor or aligator clips to directly connect to the battery. I will ground the charger to the vehicle not the negitive battery post. Would like to use the cigarette lighter plug for the convenience, but will it work? Or is this a bad idea? Thanks.

Thanks for the replies. It was way to hard to use my fingers, so I tried pliers. That's when it looked like it may break off! Now have the radiator petcock socket tool for next attempt. I have four, one gallon jugs of motorcraft premix yelloe coolant. That's what I'll be filling with. Compressed air sounds like a good idea, I'll try that to get more of the old coolant out.

This is as far as it will turn to the left.

It doesn't seem to turn past 1/4 turn and I'm afraid to break it.

Sorry for the stupid questions, but I haven't done this before. How many turns of the drain vailve to the left do I need to make? Is it 1/4 turn, 1/2 turn? a full tuen? Thanks

Hello I've removed the filler cap and opened the drain valve, but the coolant is not draining out. Any suggestions? Thanks Picture uploads are not working.

Is the drain on the drivers side a 19mm plug? Planning just opening up, draining and filling with motorcraft pre-dilluted. Is this what others have done? Thanks

I'm planning on using the H6 730cca battery from Costco as above in my 2018 Edge. Not sure what option to set for this in forscan? The OEM battery is show as a Varta 60Ah 520CCA H5 Case as in the attached picture. Thanks for any help.

Nice to hear the reset of the BMS in the video worked for you. That's the method I'll probable be using. So you didn't need or use forscan when you changed your battery? Thanks

Received advertisement from my dealer for the "Fast Lane" motorcrafter battery replacement for $149.95 plus taxes and installation. Haven't called yet, but thinking this wouldn't fit my Edge? Installation? $100? Tempting
