[Ovmsdev] Happy discovered: I3 seems to manage 12v battery charge by itself

[Steve Davies]

Hi,

Do other vehicle types also do this?

My car was locked and parked since yesterday about 10:30 UTC.  Not
connected to the EVSE/charger.

I was monitoring and I noticed that by itself it turned on the dc/dc and
started a 12v battery charge

The battery was 12.6V at the time and it charged it for an hour and then
went back to sleep.
Battery was bumped up to 13.2V.

I did wonder if this would trigger the car warning "Battery discharging
while stopped" but it did not.

So if the car manages the 12v battery I will adjust the warning in my docs
about discharging the 12v battery by leaving the OVMS connected.
