    Using Expedition as backup 1kW power

    Where I live we don't have power outages often. So, I don't have any power backups, generator, etc... But last week there was 3 hours long outage. And it was really inconvenient. Especially since I'm working from home. I have UPS, but it only lasts 7-10 mins. I can buy the generator, but then...

    The "Check Charging System" warning that won't go away...

    (2006 Expedition, 194K miles) A few months ago, I got my first "Check Charging System" error. It would come on intermittently, and go away when the engine revved up.
