[QUOTE="Ridge Runner, post: 616155, member: 3775"] It is not a problem or a design fault, The make it do that so when you plug it in to your Cars Ciggy Socket it does not Drain the Car Battery, Thats a good feature on the larger models, the smaller 40/512Wh and 55Ah/704Wh models on the market charge to 100%, The 70Ah/896Wh has the capacity of a 140Ah Lead Acid or AGM @ 50% SOC, So charging anything that big from the car battery would kill the Car battery, Because most vehicles have an 80 to 100Ah and the safety factor for them would be 40AH and 50Ah so taking 70Ah from them would kill them. So that is a safety feature on the larger models, Ok. :Y: [/QUOTE]
