I have only had my Ampera for 3 days and love it.
However:
I set up the delayed charge in the car to charge overnight and then plug in the plug.
The car beeps twice and the light flashes indicating delayed charge.
Then after a short while i hear a pop from the 16a Rolec unit as if i was disconnecting the charging plug then the car immediately reconnects causing the car to go into immediate charge mode.
It seems like the Rolec charger is not giving out enough power during the delayed charge and therefore it thinks it should switch off, then it switches back on as the car then wants to immediate charge, needing more power.
Does anyone know if this is normal behavior for the Rolec or if i have a fault somewhere.
I have not tried delayed charge with the supplied power cable. I am going to try that next to make sure it is not a problem with the car.
