    I have measured the temp at the battery both inside and outside the thermal blanket and can confirm your readings. Added additional aluminum coating to the thermal blanket on the engine header side and bottom. The heat is incredible. Lithium batteries don't like heat or cold either. If too cold they shut down. If too hot...

    I couldn't agree more. A lithium battery is not the solution - not when it costs 5-6x that of a lead acid. I'm resigned to replacing the lead acid battery every two years and i don't think there's any way that a lithium battery would last for 10-12 years in that environment.

    All - I wanted to close the loop on this. I did change the battery whilst the issue remained. I ultimately was able to deduce from a couple of different diagnostic test that it was a cam solenoid that needed to be replaced which they handled and the car runs perfectly. Frustrating that no check engine light was ever spotted on this issue but hope this helps anyone else trying to diagnose this issue!

    I drive mine daily and I plug it in as soon as I get into the garage. It’s like a Tesla but with a sweet sounding V12.

    From time to time I seem to call my FF a hybrid....
