Hey all,
During a recent thread (fight) about battery charging I reported that I had seen mine charging as low as 12.4v . However what I have just worked out from going over my logs. Is that was only occurring in the day straight after a new set of batteries (ssb SS88TI main and HVT50D Aux) and a battery reset. Since that day it's never been below 13.7v in my car. I've tried a few scenarios traxide in shared (12v cut out) and in ignition 12.7v cut out and the situation is the same. Now with my solar panel on sometimes I start the car and it's at 14.8v before I start it. Still charges at 13.7 or above.
The only thing I've noted in the battery log is that when the car starts with the main below 12.6v it charges at 14.2 straight away.
I usually run in shared mode.
Anyway. Im not looking for a discussion on the topic. Just clearing up my mistake with the information I put out earlier.. this information should be handy for those with it without dc DC charging, traxide or just a stock standard D4 with a solar panel.
