FISKER OCEAN - 12V BATTERY TENDER V2.0

EV Channels Review

This video provides a detailed walkthrough of an upgraded 12V battery tender setup (Version 2.0) for the Fisker Ocean. The presenter highlights the benefits of a new, high-amperage smart charger (switchable between 10, 20, and 35 amps) and emphasizes the necessity of thicker 10-gauge wiring to handle the increased power draw, especially for Over-The-Air (OTA) software updates. The setup also includes provisions for jump-starting and using a donor battery during a 12V battery swap. The presenter demonstrates a clean installation method that allows the under-hood cover to remain in place without zip ties, routing the cable discreetly towards the windshield area. The review is practical, focusing on the technical aspects and potential use cases for owners concerned about 12V battery health, particularly during software updates. The presenter's conclusion suggests the 10-amp setting is generally sufficient for maintenance, with higher settings available if needed.
