I measured my battery voltage this morning with a good multimeter - 12.2 volts. I put the battery on my NOCO 5 Genius charger. 4 hours on the charger to get to "Green" - fully charged.
This afternoon I had to go on another short trip - about 8 miles round-trip. I watched the battery gauge the entire time.
Observations:
The gauge only moves in .5 volt increments - 12.5, 13.0, 13.5, etc.
I seemed to get up to 14.5 volts when DECELERATING! When accelerating or driving normally, it would flip between 12.5 & 13.0 volts.
I don't understand how this BMS (battery Management System) works.
I've had the car 9 days and just doing short trips around town. However, I put my charger on the battery as soon as I brought her home.
