So I was having the system off message and I assumed by battery was going bad since I had issues when it was cold out and it was about 3 years old and about the end of its recommended lifespan. I upgraded to a xs power d4700 to help run my dashcam with the car off. But when I park it's at about 12.1V with the camera cutoff at 12.0V (lowest I can set the camera is 11.8V which I might try) but I read that the xs power with the car off should be or can be 12.7V so I'm wondering if disabling the bms system and having the alternator charge full power and speed 24/7 would be worth it.
Any downsides or negatives? Reduced alternator or battery lifespans? The battery is a deep cycle designed to be drained and recharged so I'm not sure if it will hurt it.
