12V Charge Speed While Charging

[sean7512]

Edit: I think I am good now. 12V is now showing as 81%, I assume Ford's site showing the LVB % is just very delayed.

Does anyone know about how fast I should expect the 12V to charge while the car is charging? I woke up this morning to my 12V sitting at 63% and my car was already at its target level of 90%. I turned my ChargePoint down to output 8amps, plugged it in and set the car to charge to 100%. The car has been charging for 3 hours and the 12V hasn't budged and is still at 63%. The car has 8 more hours to get to 100, and then I can't charge anymore.

Any thoughts?

I don't know that the DCDC converter will come on during an L2 charging session?

You can build the 12V SoC up by driving the car.

You can connect a 12V battery maintainer to get the 12V recharged while in your garage.

According to the FAQ posted by @Mach-Lee the 12V charges while the car charges (https://www.macheforum.com/site/threads/12v-battery-faq.32744/). I was going off that.

The 12V suddenly jumped up to 81%, so I think I am good, crisis averted!

Question with PaaK on iOS. Does force quitting the app kill the bluetooth connection? I think my car is being woken up a lot as I walk around the house. I don't want to disable bluetooth because I have an Apple Watch and use AirPods as I am working throughout the day.

Set location permissions to “only while using the app” and then force quit FordPass when not in use.

Apple Watch still works with Bluetooth off, it gets an exception.

12V charging is very slow in the cold and you have to pull down to refresh FordPass before the % will update online.

Drove my truck last week, plugged in the Battery Tender Went to use it yesterday, and the Battery Tender was still on the red light. Battery was at 94% though... It was the 1.25amp charger, so the 22 degree garage temps clearly impacted it.
