[Ovmsdev] OVMS Power Drain?

[Michael Balzer]

Michael,

while the OVMS draws some power, unless you actually keep the car alive 
by polling, that's normally no issue. The 12V battery will be recharged 
automatically from the main battery by the car.

The Ioniq 5 though has a history of issues with the 12V battery. 
According to Andrew Till, a BMS update has fixed his issues:

Also see his previous posts on that topic.

Regards,
Michael
