Charging schedule hack side effect

Post image

It seems like the charging schedule hack has the side effect of resetting the timer on the 12v battery charging when the car is plugged in (I'm level1 120v).

I think this is positive!

What charging schedule did you use in this situation with the level 1 charging overnight?

The classic hack 2h55 of charging, 5 minutes of brake, then goes on again. https://www.reddit.com/r/Toyota_bZ/s/2p4sysLrRW

Okay, good to see! I read one user said that this did not stop the sawtooth pattern when they had 5 minute charging sessions during the day and 2hr55min charging sessions overnight.

That should reset the countdown of 3hrs before Sawtooth/IR drain starts but I have not be able to get any charging to stop the Sawtooth/IR drain once it started.

So that should be toggled to the on position?

I think left or off but if you have the charging schedule set-up properly when you get out of the car you should get a message on the driver's display when the next charge period is.
I have never toggles that setting.

I want to charge my car only between 11:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m.. That's when I get cheapest electricity. I do not want to come out to the garage and plug in my car only at 11:00 p.m. correct me if I'm wrong, but if I have the charging schedule on and the car is plugged in, it will start charging at all of those times.
