Hi All,
Although the measurements conducted was not exact and the timing might be slightly out, the following is a result of a sluggish start and the Traxide being disconnected over the cause of the day.
All measurements conducted with Traxide disconnected and any other ancillary removed with the Discovery 4 MY2012 current consumption at +v battery terminal.
Unlock process with light on 8.82 amps but door not opened. Used remote control to unlock. Moved to front of vehicle.
Approx. 37 seconds later doors lock down, reading at 3.6 amps, 10 seconds later 0.81 amps.
4 minutes after locking 0.15 amps, 30 seconds later after locking 0.01 amps
Unlocked with door open and lights on 9.08 amps using keyless entry system, turned lights off with door open 5.77 amps mfd and radio still on with LR symbol.
4.5 minutes later mfd and radio LR symbol off, 2.12 amps, door still open. Did not time shutdown process with drivers door still open, but exceeded 10 minutes.
Close door 10 minutes later from 2.12 amps with slow ramp down to 1.35 amps, 20 seconds later 0.80 amps, then 0.53 amps, 8 minutes later 0.53 amps. 1.5 minutes later, 0.41 amps. 2 minutes later 0.01 amps.
Take 2, Lock closed drivers door, 2.5 minutes in 0.15 amps, at 3 minutes 0.01 amps.
My Jan built MY2012 D4 might be due for a new battery for long term reliability as the terminal voltage is a bit sick for an AGM at 11.87V.
The result might actually be due to insufficient charge time as the trip of about 10km to work from an overnight stand in the garage unlocked, again the following day get to work, all day locked and the cycle starts all over again.
Will try an AGM trickle charger for a week to lift state of charge.
Always lock the vehicle even when packed in garage.
Sorry about photo, iPad always has them upside down.
Regards
Gerald
