Bill, Wait - your new plug in vehicles manage to discharge their aux battery overnight? And there is not an outcry from owners / recall / service campaign by the manufacturers, to solve this issue? That is outrageous! I know that my Leaf charges its aux battery while also charging the pack, because I see the aux battery report 12V when it is just sitting and I put it in accessory-on to get the computers to run and monitor the BMS with LeafSpy, but when I plug it in, the aux battery voltage is reported as 13V so there is a trickle going into the aux battery as well as into the pack to avoid the aux battery draining while running coolant pumps and computers during the charging session.

I've actually used several of them, and had excellent luck with these two: https://amazon.com/gp/product/B010EUNSK4 https://amazon.com/gp/product/B00CMP3Z4E And, bringing this thread back on-topic for the list, I actually find the Anker one to be very useful in my C-Max PHEV and Focus BEV, since while I'm perfectly capable of keeping the traction pack charged, I'm occasionally outwitted by the software that controls loads on the 12v packs, so it's quite useful to be able to jump the 12v pack and get my EVs going when they've been particularly stupid overnight. Amen to dumb vehicles. -Bill _______________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE: http://www.evdl.org/help/index.html#usub http://lists.evdl.org/listinfo.cgi/ev-evdl.org Read EVAngel's EV News at http://evdl.org/evln/ Please discuss EV drag racing at NEDRA (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NEDRA)
