I’m a bit confused about something. I’ve installed the Charger 1 according to the instruction, and connected it to my battery. I assumed that it had some kind of circuitry that detected if the car is on, and if it isn’t, it would shut off. But I now find this isn’t the case - that it will shut off after 30 minutes after the car has been turned off. Which means that it is running off of the battery. I tested this - I can see the green LED in the Charger 1 and after I stopped and locked my car (which shuts off everything - dome lights, headlights, etc), the light in the Charger 1 was still lit. It is only after I flip the breaker that the light turns off (proving it isn’t somehow getting power from the Bluetti).
I really don’t want this to happen. That’s all good if the battery is brand new, but if the battery is more than a few years old (like mine is), leaving the car door open for 30 minutes with the dome lights on can drain my battery to the point that I get a “low battery” warning. So although I am going to replace my battery, I really don’t want the Charger 1 to be drawing it down after the car has been turned off.
Is there some way to prevent this? I can’t find anything in the documentation that tells me how the Charger 1 has safeguards against draining my car’s battery.
Thanks!
