Somehow I feel a few fingers pointing my way.. :)
I can have a go, but do not have time until sometime next week.
The algorithm I envision goes something like this:
cold_lim = 10; // celcius that is..
batt_diff = 2; // max difference between charged and non-charged
batt_definitely_low = 12; // definite low level limit
volts_per_degree = 0.05;
// add cold weather component
if (env_temp < cold_lim) {
batt_diff += (cold_lim - env_temp)*volts_per_degree;
}
if ((batt_now < batt_definitely_low) || ((batt_charged - batt_now) > batt_diff))) {
alarm_low();
} else {
alarm_cleared();
}
Any thoughts?
Actually we should probably look at the server logs and create some statistics to measured correlated 'batt_now' and 'env_temp' to properly calibrate 'volts_per_degree'. Also look at peak highs and lows to see how the batteries out there are performing :)

Can someone try it at 2.0V (rather than 1.5V) and see if it solves the false-alerts problem?

Ok, it seems like a few have similar issues.
The logic behind the calculations seems to be reasonable, it is the assumption that there is a 1.5V difference between charging/non-charging state which is not generally applicable.
From my observations it seems like increasing this to 2.0V would take care of most mis-firing events.?..

Yup, I also get this message and it would be great if it were working
properly, but it actually fires at 13.1V which is far too high.

I have the following features set:
#0=1, #8=1, #9=1, #15=1, all others =0.
Can't remember which one made it work, but one of them did, my guess
would be #9 :)

I never get this alert.
I have a Think City (as Rolf Skeie) and use the iOS-app.
I have tested on both an exhausted aux-battery and on a brand new
battery in perfect condition.

Hi,
I'm getting 12V battery alerts ala:
"MP-0 PAALERT!!! 12V BATTERY CRITICAL (13.2V, ref=14.7V)"
So the 1.5V hardcoded difference between charged and
non-charged
state seems to be too low. The battery is working just
fine and
has been tested without any issues, but seems to
stabilize at
approx. 12.8V.
Is this a global issue; are others experiencing this as
well?
If this is a issue only relevant to my car: would it
make sense
to allow for controlling some of these kind of values
through
parameters?
BTW, I believe the Think City module could be put in the
production builds, it seems to be working fine.
Best regards
