  1. Did a further scan with #VCDS to double check all the #OBD2 #ECU #coding had taken correctly and do some real-time data monitoring, VCDS is way better for this - current draw when the ignition is turned on is as much as 14A !

    New #battery holding voltage at around 12,4V with engine off, way better than old one which, barely 12V and sometimes less

    Starting engine shows charge current from #alternator as much as 60A, going down to about 10A when idling (which means in future I shouldn't have to worry about #smartcharger overcharging the battery, I may even be able to monitor it this way).

    Hopefully this battery lasts another 4+ years as doing all this extra coding is quite a mission compared to older cars!

  6. That little red battery icon benched my upload schedule.

    From the cheap seats: what’s your call—battery or alternator?

    Bonus points for “how far did you limp it?” stories!

  8. Here is proof! On my 60th Birthday trip, she went from 99K to 100 and has many more miles to roll. Blaze has been so happy since we found (at around 60K) the source of the battery drain. Just normal wear & maintenance; most recently replacing front suspension.

  11. PSA. If you get a new #battery from #AAA or your #car mechanic, make sure that they also clean the shmutz (I believe that's the vox technica) from the terminals that run from the #battery to the #alternator. Suffice it to say, I learned this the hard way.

  12. Updated the BlueSea and Precision Circuits (BIM) sections of the #VSR #RVwiki sub-article. Lack of specification info on the BIM continues to frustrate me, and I don't think I can recommend them for that reason. Don't make us guess how your stuff works, ok?
