Thanks for this! As reccomended by most every mfr, they specify a "Power Supply" so it may help to have a charger that has a P/S mode.
Now I am not that smart about how that matters, I just know batt voltage reported in OrBit is 12.5V or so when charging and 13.5V in P/S mode. I haven't found a difference in how the car works for diag and config either way, as long as the battery keeps up, it should work. When you are in "Active Mode" that seems to force everything to stay on (other than screen timeout on the IHU). If you forget to turn P/S mode sometimes like me...the car will run right on down to dead battery...
