As I'll be making this trip again, will leave the a/c on next time and see what happens.<br /><br />My gauge has never shown anything below 70ah/100 miles either. This particular trip was out of the norm for my regular driving habits. <br /><br />Thanks RB!Todd and Karihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06793171948218590454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4792464279705521100.post-81403095249685014792009-07-20T20:57:41.793-07:002009-07-20T20:57:41.793-07:00I'm putting your blog on my blogroll page over...I'm putting your blog on my blogroll page over at TwityBlitz.RBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04573292305770214550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4792464279705521100.post-5411543092053004722009-07-20T09:32:49.170-07:002009-07-20T09:32:49.170-07:00I wish I knew what you are doing...

Impressive!<br /><br />Weren't you a bit hot without the a/c during the return trip? Did you have the windows down then? The way your figures have added up, I'll bet that you could have kept it on.<br /><br />My guess is that the drain on the battery pack is nearly the same whether you run the a/c or increase the drag coefficiency with the windows down. Just a guess, though.Yanquetinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08410294124444525439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4792464279705521100.post-71077124816757164482009-07-19T09:27:18.374-07:002009-07-19T09:27:18.374-07:00Hi Stan...Thanks!

However, I've never had 113 when starting the car. :) Have reached that temp while driving home once. On this particular trip, car was in a cool garage when we started. Believe battery temp was 82 or so as we left the garage.Todd and Karihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06793171948218590454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4792464279705521100.post-19217820817590521072009-07-19T08:56:58.189-07:002009-07-19T08:56:58.189-07:00I meant to say "Todd, good job at squeaking o...I meant to say "Todd, good job at squeaking out the miles!"<br />StanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4792464279705521100.post-68649756522316823132009-07-19T08:54:55.266-07:002009-07-19T08:54:55.266-07:00Todd, at squeaking out the miles!

My average after 10 minutes of driving is in the low 100's but I guess my battery starts off at a higher temperature since my garage is hot in the summer. On Friday at work I had to keep my windows fully closed because of passing thunderstorms. My battery temp was 113 when I turned on the car at 5pm! I didn't get a temperature warning on the way home so I guess the car copes well. It will be interesting to see what happens this winter as we do get temps below freezing here in Victorville.<br />StanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
