just added myself into google doc.

i am wondering how to charge battery?
I usually drive my car weekend and dont want to drain battery.
just connecting battery tender to Odyssey battery is going to charge 2 dump pack batteries as well? or i need to disassemble and charge them?

Don't worry about it for either

Just make sure to disconnect/switch off cable to OFT, because it will drain that little Odyssey battery overnight.

I've left my OFT plugged in for 2-3 days on the stock battery and never had an issue starting. Anything longer and I switch it off via a switched OBD cable.

That being said, does anyone know or have first hand experience on how long the ESC starter battery can go with the OFT plugged in before it's drained to a point it can no longer start the car?

i usually charged my battery in winter since i drive like once per 2 weeks? also avoid on salty roads.

since i installed ESC, trying to avoid my battery dead.
just trying to see ok to charge battery with unit installed or i need to disassemble batteries to charge

I'm using a battery tender for the starter if not driving for a week or more. Had no drain issues with the dump batteries when sitting idle for 6 weeks, so my 2 cents worth would be not to bother with a 24V tender for those.

Always unplug the Blackview when parked in the garage, though car has Cat3 rust/paint protection running 24/7.

Not a good idea to drain the starter too much as it can give the battery a memory where it won't fully recharge. Had this issue on another car, maybe the Oddessy doesn't have this issue?

did you connect your battery tender to starter battery (+) (-) directly?
i dont need to disconnect dump pack battery cable at all?

Yes, battery tender came with a small plug setup which stays connected to both terminals, I just plug the tender in and leave it until I next drive.

It's totally seperate from the dump wiring so nothing is disconnected.

great!
thanks.

i kinda wish we can charge dump pack batteries without disassemble as well

The battery tender should charge all the batteries shouldn't it? That's what the car's alternator does. And the charger is taking the place of the alternator right? I guess it charges the dump batteries (24V) through the charger/controller.

That's what i first thought as well.
but wanted to make sure because i have no idea how this controller works.
I don't drive a lot in winter time so i just usually leave it charged with battery tender.

Do what Gums said. The dump pack is separate and does not get used or charged until the controller is on, when the car is on.


When my car is parked in my garage, I directly connect the starter battery (12v) to my charger to keep it fully charged. It does nothing to the dump pack (24v).
