Where did you get the info that the 12v battery could be killed by charging at only 6A? Doesn’t seem to fit with other sources of info eg direct from Porsche.
@Pcarwhisperer4 жыл бұрын
Hi Michael! There is a Technical Bulletin (TI) "2706 Discharged 12-Volt Battery After Charging the High-Voltage Battery" from Porsche that states when charging on a 120V at 6amps there could communication errors between the high voltage charger and Taycan which results in increased power consumption of the 12V battery which in turn can kill the 12v battery. The document recommends to keep the power output to no less than 8 amps when charging on a 120v in a pinch. There will be a software update sometime early this year to fix the error but it is not out yet. Hope this helps 👍🏼

Mason, thanks very much for the excellent video. If you have a ChargePoint Flex available which will charge at 11 kWhr (vs. 9.6 kWhr), will the Taycan onboard charging system automatically adjust? Or does the vehicle have settings like the Mobil Charger Connect (MCC) which need to be made manually in the vehicle? I have been told that the Mobil Charger Connect has added features which will "future proof" Taycan charging. I am not clear what the advantage of the MCC is over third party units like the ChargePoint Flex other than you can link to the Porsche app.
@Pcarwhisperer3 жыл бұрын
Jack! Thank you for the support and kind words 😊 That is a great question! Was not familiar with the Chargepoint Flex until you mentioned it... looks like quite a nice unit! The Taycan will automatically adjust adjust charging rate based on the infrastructure it is plugged into but in this case I believe it would limited as standard the Taycan comes with an on-board AC charger at 9.6 kWhr limiting the rate of charge! Unless the car is equipped with the optional 19.2 kWhr on-board AC charger! With this option the on-board unit is able to convert the incoming AC energy to DC energy to be stored in the battery at a faster rate! If the car does have this option it will be available through Porsche Tequipment! If equipped with this particular on-board charger the Taycan would be able to take full advantage of the ChargePoint Flex and would automatically adjust the charge rate to 11 kWhr as now the limiting factor is the charger not the car 👍🏼 Yes the MCC will help "future proof" a bit more as it can be hardwired into your houses electrical panel bringing charging times of up to 19.2 kWhr if equipped with the on-board charger as above! It will also be able to work seamlessly with the "Home Energy Manager" that control's the rate of charge based upon current household energy output and automatically adjust it! See Porsche Taycan Configurator go to the bottom and under the "Tequipment Accessories">"E-performance". Hope this helps Jack! Thanks for the support!

Why would taking it down to 6 amps to protect your electrical supply and plug drain the 12v battery? that doesn't actually make sense, please explain thx as in UK we turn down the amps to ensure it doesn't overload our 240v socket and overheat
@Pcarwhisperer4 жыл бұрын
Hi James! At 120v 6amps there is the possibility of discharging the 12v battery due to a communication error between the charger and the vehicle causing discharge to the 12v starter battery. There is a Technical bulletin here in the US about it and there will be software update sometime this year to fix the issue! It is possible the issue isn't happening to cars in the UK. What amperage are you keeping it at on a 240v socket?
@jamesheard95664 жыл бұрын
@@Pcarwhisperer Hi I actually keep mine at 10amps when needed but rarely use the mobile charger on a 3 pin domestic socket in UK at 240v, but there is a general recommendation to turn amps down to prevent overheating especially when using an extension cable, so 6 amps if charging for a long time. We have had a few 12v issues but not relating to the mobile connect charger, it happens on all chargers and Porsche do not have an answer as some are plugged in and some aren't when 12v fails
