Did you have it on a power supply?
Yes a 30 amps voltage supply. But the cooling system pulls a bit more. So 3 hours is the max on this charger. Normally it would be enough....
Yeah, that's not enough for a long update like this. Mine was pulling 36-38A the entire time.
I think that if i would have started on a 100% battery i would have made it. But the previous updates, especially the rfa? took also a lot of power. So i should have waited a bit longer inbetween the updates. No biggy ill be back.

I don’t read (or speak) the language that’s in, but I’m a little hesitant about the unit because printer on the unit is the word “Charger” and I don’t see anywhere on the unit that it’s a regulated power supply. If it is indeed a regulated supply, then a second unit in parallel would be more than adequate for FDRS purposes. If it is not, I would look for a regulated power supply. ??
It is a smart power supply with bluetooth. It is able to hold 30 amps for hours. I am not sure what a regulated power supply means. I will visit a specialized store soon, so they will be able to help me with my questions.
There’s this nifty “translate” button in mobile safari. Convers gibberish spoken elsewhere in the world to proper ‘murican English ?
It’s a euro supply so it does not apply to us. It looks like it provides 12V 30A
Your straying on the edge, be careful otherwise you will need to learn how to recover a module. Something I would like to get educated on for sure!
Right the mains side of that unit doesn’t apply to us, but it says “Charger” on it, not “Supply.” They function differently. Supplies provide much cleaner power and many of the modules in various makes of cars (according to online sources) require the kind of clean power that a regulated supply provides during programming. ?

The power supply has 7 different " modes" so you can charge the battery slow or you can do it fast. It does not get hot during 30 amps, so you can use the maximum load for a long time.Right the mains side of that unit doesn’t apply to us, but it says “Charger” on it, not “Supply.” They function differently.

FYI the CMR update only takes 20 minutes with a VCM3. If that was taking 3+ hours, it means you have an inferior J2534 device or some other issues slowing things down dramatically.
