Lead acid battery charger (or alternator) switching to trickle with load present?
In article ,
Steve Walker wrote: Better still, standardised voltage and standardised packs where a small town car may use one, while a larger, longer range car may use two or three. Make the packs so they can be slid in or out - it doesn't matter if each car puts them in at different locations, in different directions or around different obstructions - and "battery stations" could use robot arms, pre-programmed for all different models, to swap out discharged batteries for fully charged ones. The service paid for at a fixed sum, plus a rate for the increase in charge level. That makes recharging an electric vehicle as fast as a petrol or diesel one from the driver's point of view and ensures that failing batteries are removed from circulation, with the cost spread amongst all drivers rather than an individual being hit by a high fee. It would also mean that as battery technology improved, all cars would benefit, not just the latest model. Which would require cooperation between every maker in every country. Just the thing all the Farages and Trumps of this world are dead against. How dare anyone tell us how we should do things. And so on. -- *If you tell the truth, you don't have to remember anything.* Dave Plowman London SW To e-mail, change noise into sound. |

How do you propose decisions should be made on what is to be produced and when innovation is to be allowed? The same system that produced the Trabant in 1957 - and carried on producing it until 1990? -- Robin reply-to address is (intended to be) valid |

It cant be a fused line given that you still get the battery flattened with no fuses installed. If you can somehow rig up something that allows you to see or hear the current draw, or have someone else watch the meter, you may be able to see if its a door by doing that and operating the doors. I've only ever seen it by leaving a multimeter connected with a maximum function running. Car sat perfectly still, it just does it sometimes overnight. Yeah, you really need a proper data logger. Not expensive. Not spending money on stuff for one little purpose like that. But you did with the charger to kludge around the fault. A 13.8V 15A power supply is very useful for all sorts. And you should be able to flog it for about what you paid for it once it has fixed the problem. Too much hassle and I lose postage and Ebay fees etc. Only time I've bothered "renting" something like that was a top of the range slide scanner for a large amount of 35mm slides I wanted digitised. And I can't see it would tell me anything, apart from "it happened at 5am". When it happens and the detail of how it happens may well allow you to work out what is causing the flattening of the battery overnight and fix the problem. What can it tell me apart from the time of night it did it? How long that high current lasted for. That would definitively distinguish between the alarm being triggered and eventually timing out and a pinched wire which would have quite different timing, particular over different nights. I know it's a long time as it can flatten the battery. But you dont know if its continuous when it happens or intermittent. If it was intermittent and regular it could well be the alarm triggering, then timing out, the triggering again and then timing out again etc. You wouldnt normally get that with a pinched wire. True, but I'm not spending any more on the problem. More fool you when is peanuts and the alternative is to have to manually charge the damned thing every night. I've already spent time and money trying to trace the ****ing fault and I've had enough of it. My current system works fine. I leave a pair of croc clips sat at the end of my drive and connect them every time I come home, not a hassle at all. And that would allow you to see which door is the problem too if it is one of the doors pinching a cable as its closed. What makes you think it's a door? Its the most obvious way to pinch a cable. Actually I've just had an ABS wire fixed that had been damaged by the handbrake. Sure, I didnt say its the only one. And that one wouldnt be fused either. Neither would the airbag triggers. Airbags certainly are fused. Mine arent. I know people who have taken the fuse out. But you dont know its fused in your steaming turd with wheels. So if it shorts it just causes a fire? Everything should be fused. They are internally fused. That way they cant set fire to the car and can't have the fuse pulled by a car thief. The fuse must be at the start of the circuit, or a short in the feed wire can cause a fire. Imagine a table lamp in your house with a fuse in its plug, but the cable leading from the consumer unit to the socket is unfused. What do you think would happen if a rat ate the wire in the wall? Now consider a car where shorts in wires throughout the chassis are much more likely. Modern car security is about a lot more than not having a fuse for the alarm in the main fuse box. What? |

We manage to agree on the standards of petrol that cars have to be able to run on now. We manage to impose (although not police) emissions standards. Standards are not the same in every country, but someone supplying from outside has to meet the standards in force in the UK. There is nothing wrong with countries co-operating on standards - only in having them imposed externally. SteveW |

And we know that there isnt one for the starter etc. That would require a ****ing big fuse. Which might just be why there isnt one. Imagine a table lamp in your house with a fuse in its plug, but the cable leading from the consumer unit to the socket is unfused. What do you think would happen if a rat ate the wire in the wall? Thats the situation with the starter in every car. Which doesn't have wires running through the dash where it could set fire to the inside of the car. But does have a wire running thru the engine compartment where the petrol is which is even more likely to set fire to the car. All the starter would do if it shorted would break the battery or the wire. Or set fire to the car. Modern car security is about a lot more than not having a fuse for the alarm in the main fuse box. What? Non key systems. So have they finally removed those annoying alarms that wake people up in the middle of the night? Corse not, because thieves can still break windows etc. And my car has a key. Because its a steaming turd with wheels frog car. |
