Try leaving it plugged into the EVSE and see if it still does it. If you theory is correct it shouldn’t discharge while plugged in. Sent from my iPad > On Jun 28, 2019, at 8:42 AM, Mark Hanson via EV wrote: > > Hi folks > I checked the 12v battery last night, cool at 12.6v not sucking any

My Ego (electric lawn-care tools) batteries will self discharge themselves down to 30-50% SOC after a month if you leave them charged. (they call it "Storage mode"). So I can certainly understand a car deciding to keep the battery "stored" within the 20-80% SOC range for battery

Hi folks I checked the 12v battery last night, cool at 12.6v not sucking any amps so I think the car decides to discharge the battery from100 to 80% if you let it sit 2 days or more. Seems like a waste of energy though. > > Thanks Paul > That makes sense replacing the 12v battery as this

I am interested in this Mark, because of the last portion regarding DC quick charging. I have not been able to get my 2016 Spark LT2 to charge on EVGO CCS chargers. I have tried them at 5 different locations and either get no response or when it seems to have started, get an error message from the

Thanks Paul That makes sense replacing the 12v battery as this appears to have gotten worse over time. With old lead batteries (this has 5 years use mid old) the DC DC converter tries to float charge the battery up to 14v but it won't go above 13v so it just keeps pumping current in. I'll
