I have the new F150 lightning with extended battery. 100% Battery are only 277 miles.

Is there something wrong with my car battery?

All original parts.
I charge at home with the small charger that came with the car.

There are a lot of potential reasons you got less then the expected range.
Was it highway or city driving?
What was your speed?
Was there a head wind?
What was the outside temperature?
How much power was used for hvac?
You can check the battery usage on the trucks screen and it will answer some of there questions.

Interessting. So I drive arround town all day - maybe 50 miles yesterday. Then in the evening i hook up the small Ford Charger. Next morning I get 100% 277 miles. So I thougt we start out with 310 or 320 miles and 100% in the morning. I did charge in the last days with a power charger somewhere else. That thing only charges until 90%. So I was exited to see 100% with slow charging. but only 277 miles

Looks like you are getting ~2.1 mi/kWh and that is right around what you should be getting for the EPA highway range.

I don't think there's anything wrong with your truck. What kind of driving have you been doing with your Lightning?

That's perfectly normal. You need to read up on your Guess-O-Meter:

That Guess-o-meter is giving you a conservative estimate based on the driving you were doing. Again, you need to read up on your Guess-O-Meter:
