[Ovmsdev] Android App v3.12.2 in Play Store

Thu Jan 4 00:40:36 HKT 2018

Hi Robert,

Of course the OVMS slowly drains the battery, however, the DC-DC is not working properly either. When driving with only the LED headlight, the charging voltage is just 13.2 Volts. That’s not enough to charge the battery. If you drive with the low beam og high beam, the voltage increases to proper 14.2V. I believe it is also increases to 14.2V when the heater is running at full speed.
The DC-DC only charges the 12V battery when it charges the main battery. So if you drive a lot of shorter trips with the LED head lights, that would lead to an empty battery.
We got a new battery just recently (60000km and 3 years old Soul) on warranty.

Regarding range, we see some degradations, but we don’t see that much of a difference. 
Can you send BATT to your OVMS and send me the answer? 

I think someone else have to port my changes to Android. If the additions are worthy :-D

Geir

> You mention that the SoulEV has a lot of problems with the 12V battery.  I have to agree with you.  After leaving the car for 3/4 days without driving it, we often find the 12V battery is dead and needs to be recharged.  Do you think it might be the OVMS module that drains it?  I still think the DC-DC from the large battery should kick in and charge the 12V so don't know why it's happening.

When we got it, it would comfortably do 150km range in warm weather, but now after only two years, we get like 110km in warm weather and 100km in cold weather.  That's crazy degradation.  We have escalated this to Kia Canada but they say the car is operating normally.  I was wondering if you were seeing similar degradation in your pack?
