Okay, I made a thread on battery charging a while back, and have
one additional piece of information to ask about.
As a review, I have a LiTime 100 Ah lithium ion battery, a
Prgressive Dynamics power center in my Lance 1475 trailer, and a
2023 Acadia Denali tow vehicle. When I had the trailer connected
to the battery and the fridge running, the battery app said it's
discharging with 5.93 hours of use remaining. After connecting
the 7-pin to the running Acadia, the battery app then said it had
5.35 hours remaining.
Just to check that the trailer draw hadn'tt changed, I unhooked
the 7-pin and the ap then said 6.04 hours remaining. This makes
me think that not only is the Acadia *not* charging the battery,
it's system is actually drawing *from* the trailer battery when
connected. Maybe because the LiTime is at higher voltage, though
that's just a guess.
Any thoughts?
FWIW, here are the details from each of the three test cases...
7-pin Power Current Voltage
Connected -220.1 W -16.7 A 13.2 V
Dis-connect -242.2 W -18.5 A 13.1 V
Connected -215.7 W -16.4 A 13.1 V
And this was all with the battery SOC being about 98%.
