I'm going to add to this thread, rather than create a new one... since I believe they are semi-related.
I've got my Leaf set up on timers.
Timer 1: 80% Charge : Sun-Thurs : 5a - 8a
Timer 2: 100% Charge : Fri-Sat : 4a - 9a
80% Charge Limit Setting : On
I do the above for a few reasons:
- Charge on off peak hours and some sunlight hours (We have solar)
- Charge to 80% most of the time
- On weekends we have a full charge for longer/more weekend trips
Now, this is great for 99% of the time. However, tonight for example, we're headed in to the city for a date night. I'm going to need the car charged to 100%.
The timer overrides the 80% Charge Limit Setting when in that Fri-Sat window. Great.
HOWEVER, I would have thought the "Ignore the timer" button would act like a "Just Charge" button and let the car charge fully. It does not. It cancels the timer, but then the 80% charge limit kicks in and it stops anyway.
So, I suppose my question is, is there any way (short of un-setting that 80% limit every time), that I can tell the car to charge fully.
In not, there should be.
