The short version is no.Is it possible that people who live in areas with few hills are seeing this issue more? I live in an area where I can coast downhill frequently which is where charging happens and I have yet to see an issue. Granted I have a low amount of miles yet, under 500.
It just seems to me unless you are doing lots of stop and go or getting hills to coast down you might not get much time to charge that the HV battery and then short change the 12 volt charge. But that’s just a theory which much smarter people than me on this forum could likely debunk![]()
The HV battery is feeding the 12v system about 13.5 to 14.7 volts any time the key is turned to run. It does not matter if you are going uphill, downhill, or parked in a parking lot.
My current theory is two fold:
1) they are cheap, poorly made batteries to begin with
2) the truck is drawing some low rate of power continuously, even when shut "off".
