If that is 10 - 15 Ahr total then the 12v is recharging at 3 - 5 Amps Net. One thing that bugs me is the slow recharge - on the order of 3 hours.

I like the idea of a new 45 Ahr PbA replacement when Covid is over. My 2 year old OEM 33 Ahr battery is not enough. I suspect then that what I really need is a 12v that has enough capacity to last from drive to drive. This would be much more efficient because the car is already wide awake while driving so that fixed consumption of ~ 300 watts is already accounted for. My car is not used enough during Covid to affect much change in vampire loss, but a more normal routine would let the car charge up the 12v during driving instead of at rest. Since the new nominal capacity of the OEM battery is 33 Ahr (and I figure that ~ 50% of has been used in the drop to 12.6 volts, the juice being used in sleep is on the order of 16 Ahr * 12.8volts over 16 hours, so around 13 watts*. When the car is at rest and sentry mode is off, the drop from 13.1 to 12.6v takes as little as 12 hours and as much as 18 hours. I see charging at ~ 14.5 volts until 13.1 volts and a threshold for recharging at 12.6volts. I use the ohmmu battery and it works nicely with it.Ĭlick to expand.This looks similar to my monitoring. there also may be other alternatives, but i know this works and have had it on model 3 for a few weeks now. Simple to use and designed to fit your hand. Large easy to read color display shows percentage of charge.
#12V BATTERY METER PORTABLE#
There are a few of these on amazon and some may be cheaper. Portable hand held battery meter is for all types of 12 volt batteries. Things like "cranking test" will not be applicable since there is no starter motor, but maybe, as I think about this, since the HV contactors need voltage from the 12V to close them, maybe this would show up under that option? I will test this if I remember to do so.Īnyway, my point to post this was to offer a low cost solution for those to keep track of their 12v charge directly from your phone without having to use tesla fi or those other apps. it will show you the state of the the battery and when the HV battery charges it, it will show you "charging" and you will see the graph showing you the charging current, it updates as you are connected to it.
#12V BATTERY METER BLUETOOTH#
It uses Bluetooth Low Energy so you have to be in about ~30 feet ish to connect to the little guy. It's mostly designed for combustion engine vehicles because it shows you cranking amps and things of that nature. Set of 2 - 3 meter (11.So I had this little gadget on my combustion engine vehicle and, well, with all the talk about the 12V battery error message popping up, I thought to revisit this little doo-dad. Please recycle all electronic parts responsibly and under no circumstance eat, drink or smoke these parts and wash your hands after touching! To put it simply we are a small company and do not have the resources to test every single part, so we list every thing as hazardous.
