Hello All,
First post… Given the LR4 charging profile related to the battery management system https://expeditionportal.com/forum/...ile-measured-with-iid-really-this-bad.163106/
I am considering disconnecting the BMS sensor on the negative battery terminal while camping when I need full battery capacity to run a fridge.
Its my understanding from extensive searching but but little objective data that the battery will be charged to full capacity as the BMS is not able to do its thing and only charge battery to about 80% when it chooses to save fuel.
Has anyone played this game with BMS? It’s true there are a couple of warning signs on the dash as soon as this sensor is disconnected. I am mainly concerned about causing any other issues with this practice. I don’t have a scan tool to know exactly what is going on when disconnecting the sensor.
Hope this work around is the ticket otherwise not sure how to run a fridge on main battery. I have 95 amp hrs of capacity but with only being charged to around 80% and mostly not charging when driving or idling, I end up getting the low battery warning on the dash in the morning. Thanks All!
