I think that's normal, there has to be some electronics one for remote to work? My hybrids did this too, in fact, even my old 1994 estima does this, no remotes. -----Original Message----- From: EV On Behalf Of Glenn Brooks via EV Sent: Wednesday, 21 April 2021 4:46 pm To: p...@ingineerix.com; Electric Vehicle Discussion List <ev@lists.evdl.org> Cc: Glenn Brooks <brooks.gl...@comcast.net> Subject: Re: [EVDL] From my nissan leaf .com: Why the Leaf 12v system undercharges the 12v battery.
Hmm, Phil’s comment about battery drain is very interesting. Up until last year, My daughter had an older Lexus SUV hybrid . She worked in San Francisco and walked to work, so the car stayed parked for weeks sometimes. When parked for a week, the battery pack and the lead acid battery always went dead from some mysterious , undetectable current draw. Neither the dealer or Lexus ever traced ( or admitted a design flaw) in the supposed stray current, when parked. We never figured it out. Finally talked her into selling the d#%n thing. Wondering if something to do with cell monitoring was killing the batteries. It’s gone out of our life, ( dad’s are the 24 hr on call emergency fixit guys), but still curious. _______________________________________________ Address messages to ev@lists.evdl.org No other addresses in TO and CC fields UNSUBSCRIBE: http://www.evdl.org/help/index.html#usub ARCHIVE: http://www.evdl.org/archive/ LIST INFO: http://lists.evdl.org/listinfo.cgi/ev-evdl.org
