I’ve noticed with my pro charger, if I set a preferred charging time of say 4 AM for example and want the truck to charge to 100% by 7 AM from 70% (say for a long drive), the charger blue light flashes every few seconds and I heard the “clicking” sound that I typically hear when I first plug in and the truck immediately begins charging. I believe what is happening is the pro charger is wanting to deliver power to the truck but when it “clicks on” the truck is telling it, it’s not time to charge yet, and this cycle occurs several times a minute. I’ve noticed it doing this and then seems like the next morning after my truck has actually charged, I get a notice that my 12 volt battery is low and I need to plug in to maintain the battery (I think this noticed is actually sent sometime before the 3AM charging window, so by the time it appears when I leave, the 12 volt is actually already charged back up). I also get a notification that I may have an electrical drain and I should check third party devices or have the vehicle serviced. I honestly think that cycling process of the truck pro charger trying to deliver power, is draining the 12 volt battery over the 8-10 hours that the truck is waiting to charge.
the truck always seems to charge as I want it to without problem but I hate to think it’s draining my 12 volt battery every time I set a preferred charge time. My power company doesn’t offer cheaper charging over night so I only set a preferred charging window when I need to charge to 90 or 100% for long trips and don’t want the truck sitting at that state of charge for several hours.
