There should be a modification to EVs that allows them to access the J1772 energy from an EVSE when plugged in, to trickle charge the...

Well 94% is not too bad. 100% is of course better - only solution for that is a $40 or so trickle charger with an AGM mode. But one...

MattVT replied to the thread Charging while parked & unused (over 2 weeks) in cold weather - recorded data.I’m still trying to work out if the data I’ve collected helps to answer whether that’s necessary or not, and if so, in what conditions...

Interesting, thanks for posting your data. From what I read the AGM battery fully charged terminal voltage can vary by manufacturer...

MattVT replied to the thread Charging while parked & unused (over 2 weeks) in cold weather - recorded data.I don’t think so - that’s why I stacked the two charts. It looks like in the first week, it was pulling power much more frequently, and...
