Hi,
With a Honda e, is the 12-volt battery also charged when the high-voltage battery is being charged?
Thanks in advance!

I can confirm that It appears to charge when it decides to, but never if you're in accessory mode though.

It's not exactly the greenest idea, but might an option be to, if you are not going to be driving for a while, keep the car plugged in and set to 80% max charge. Then, every few days or so you could set a 30 minute pre-heating/cooling cycle so the charging circuit turns back on?

No need to do this because the car will top up the battery as it sees fit, people on here have left theirs weeks on end without issue.ZoeDave wrote: ↑Fri Feb 04, 2022 9:15 pm It's not exactly the greenest idea, but might an option be to, if you are not going to be driving for a while, keep the car plugged in and set to 80% max charge.

It's only a problem if you leave the car in accessory mode and don't have the seat belt engaged. Please don't ask how I know

Didn't touch my car for three weeks over xmas, not plugged in charge % was the same at the end as the start, didn't have any issues with 12v battery either, I didn't bother using the app as after a couple of days it had put itself into sleep mode.
At home I don't overly worry as I park near enough to my garage for my ctek charger to reach should my 12v battery let me down.
Now I've posted this it'll be flat as a flat thing tomorrow no doubt

Thank you, and no, I won't ask, but I can imagine it involves something so obvious to Honda that nobody else even thought it would be necessary! If the pandemic subsides enough to allow me to visit Japan again it's good to know that my 12V system won't be secretly plotting it's demise while I'm away.londiniumperson wrote: ↑Sat Feb 05, 2022 7:59 pmNo need to do this because the car will top up the battery as it sees fit, people on here have left theirs weeks on end without issue.ZoeDave wrote: ↑Fri Feb 04, 2022 9:15 pm It's not exactly the greenest idea, but might an option be to, if you are not going to be driving for a while, keep the car plugged in and set to 80% max charge.
