FISKER OCEAN - LITHIUMMOTO SODIUM 12V BATTERY INSTALLATION

EV Channels Review

This video provides a detailed walkthrough of installing a LithiumMoto Sodium-Ion 12V battery in a Fisker Ocean. The presenter effectively demonstrates a method to maintain vehicle power during the swap by engaging neutral and fastening the seatbelt, eliminating the need for a donor battery. Key steps include removing the fender bracket, battery bracket, and carefully disconnecting/reconnecting terminals and the positive bus bar. The video highlights the significant weight difference between the sodium-ion battery (5.6 kg) and the original (15.7 kg), and notes the sodium battery's integrated Bluetooth monitor. While the installation process is presented clearly, the presenter later updated that they returned the sodium battery due to operating issues, including charging inconsistencies and reduced HV charging. This cautionary note is crucial for potential buyers, advising them to monitor the battery closely for the first couple of weeks. The video also touches upon the IBS reset procedure and provides links to tools and the battery itself.
