Alrite, It's been a while since I've posted on here...
Recently purchased a Bluetooth battery monitor so figured I'd post a pic on here so you can see how the DC-DC convertor operates and charges the 12v battery.
Points of note:
Initially the car was unplugged and fully charged.
8am is my short commute to work of around 20mins/5 miles
Various unaccounted for loads whilst car is parked at work...?
16:30 drive home and immediately plugged in but not charging. Looks like car keeps the DC-DC convertor running to top up battery until 9PM
6-7am is my pre-scheduled charging time.
8:20am unlocked and removed charging cable.
I wouldn't take too much notice of the actual numbers as not sure how accurate the voltages are, but the pattern of operation is interesting...
Cheers,
Jim
