Power Consumption in a EV - jb1 - 07-04-2024

I use iCar Pro BT 4.0 BLE linked to ABRP in a Chevy Bolt EUV.  It works perfectly !!  As stated in your documentation iCar will not enter sleep mode in an electric car.  If I keep iCar plugged in while not using the car for days is there a risk of draining the battery ?

No. The iCar Pro can sleep in the car, when the car is switched off for 15 minutes it will automatically sleep with only 3MA, but it does not support wake up, so you will need to unplug the adapter and plug it back in every time!
