FISKER OCEAN: 12V BATTERY MONITOR & TENDER INSTALLATION

EV Channels Review

This video provides a detailed, step-by-step guide on installing a 12V battery monitor and tender in a Fisker Ocean One. The host, assisted by Jim, clearly outlines the necessary tools and demonstrates the process of connecting the devices to both the negative and positive terminals of the 12V battery located under the hood. Key steps include removing the battery cover, carefully loosening and re-tightening terminal nuts to accommodate the new connectors, and routing the tender wire through the hood area for external access. A crucial warning is issued against using battery tenders under 5 amps if an Over-The-Air (OTA) update is expected. The reviewer highlights the utility of these accessories for maintaining battery health, especially during extended periods of non-use or while awaiting software updates. The installation appears straightforward, though attention to detail is required for proper connection and wire management.
