This video actually wasn't ment to be public, but well.. I will probably make a dedicated video regarding all CI charging issues in the near future - as there are a few things going on..
But I add some info regarding the charging issues of a CI here for your info (especially since Carpe Iter Support sadly was less than helpful):
Also related: • Carpe Iter v4 Battery ...
after the first long tour (7500km) the pogo pins on the back of the tablet already start show rather strong wear
charging power via pogo pins decreased to a point that even on smooth roads the tablett discharged within half a day despite being connected/"charged" via pogo pins
above situation got dramatically worse after installation on the more rigid RG rally tower. The tablet started to crash constantly and the area around the pogo pins got burning hot. After putting a band aid over the pogo-pin connetors it worked fine again - without loading obviously
because there was no spare ACC 2 (switched?) connection ACC 1 (permanent power) was used for the power connection (for now). I am about to get a y-cable and connect it back to ACC 2 (switched). According to the manual the CI detects if the engine is running before starting to charge. So it should work on the permanent power connection too. But according to CI support this depends on the battery in use... I have the original KTM battery installed and obviously the CI does not work correctly on the permanent power connection with the original KTM battery. In my books this is an issue with the CI, but like almost any other issue I reported with CI support - it's always the fault of other things, but the CI.
