System Fault - HV Battery Shut Off

[biffo]

A couple of failed attempt with ChargePlace Scotland has resulted in this. Guess I sit for 10 minutes and hope it fixes itself.

actually - sorted itself after about 3 minutes of waiting!

Glad it's ok now.
Your 12v seems, low mine sits at 14v.
What % did you start and finish the charge?

This was it trying to charge - home charger not installed yet & got few hundred miles drive this weekend so figured I’d rapid to 85%.

I’ve left it on a 22kW (charging at 7kW rate) and will collect in couple of hours.

12.2v is very low and probably why the HV disconnect error happened. For the 12v battery to be so low you must have had the car partially on for a time?

Nah - a 12v battery should be showing around, well, 12v.

Don't forget that as soon as you connect the HV battery it charges the 12v battery so what you're actually seeing on the display is effectively the charger is putting across the battery.

I just popped out to test that theory to be sure. Pressed start twice. Booted up showing 12.2v.
Brake & start to connect the HV battery, voltage raises straight up to 14

Yeah. I’d only driven half a mile from house to train station where chargers are.

All sorted now - 4 hours on the 7kW. All ready for the weekend.
