Battery Chargers

(02-06-2023, 07:27 PM)FlyingPilot2012 Wrote: I have a Schumacher SC1281 battery charger/jumper. It says it can provide 2A, 6A or 12A continuously and 30A or 100A intermittently. I'm definitely not worried about the power needed to run Orbit. 

However, I have yet to get my pin and I was planning to use VIDA/Wireshark to acquire my PIN. I figure I will also run a Total Upgrade, which I heard from another user that it takes about 45 minutes. 

Any thoughts on if my charger is sufficient? I did apply an amp meter to the positive cable while plugged in and with everything was on (accessory mode). I think the highest draw I saw from the car was 9 amps. 

2018 XC60 T5 R-Design

as far as I can tell I believe that should be sufficient for it (If I'm incorrect please someone correct me).
I currently use the Dewalt 30amp (link) which does have similar specs except it's 80amp instead of 100amp on your SC1281 for engine start.

I ran multiple TU and did some work with VIDA & Orbit without any issues.

Here is what I usually do, it might not be the best approach:
before doing anything with the car I go for a drive for about 15-20 min on AWD or Power mode, where it's gonna run the engine instead of just using the T8 Battery
Then once I get back and hook up everything there is the (Start/Stop) I would press that one and you should see the device is charging "Starting up the car with 100amp if needed" and I will run the TU.
I keep monitoring the battery from the charger and VIDA if I start to see a fast drop and the charger is not running I would press the button again.
