I know. I have to save the phots in "jpg" format, not "psf". | ||||||

VZ: Here is what it looks like in my car -- I have it via a doubler so I can use the battery tender *and* the monitor (meter) at the same time through the lighter socket.  | ||||||

KCCK -- If your "battery-indicator" is just a (non-linear) LED voltmeter then the difference between your cars (goes off with the key or stays on with the key) might just be related to whether or not +12V power is supplied to the cigarette lighter socket with the key off. With the key off, try using the cigarette lighter to see if the cars behave differently (or if you've got a conventional voltmeter you could try measuring the voltage directly at the cigarette lighter socket to see if the +12V is switched with the key). Somehow, adding another continuous "drain" to monitor the battery condition seems a little counter-productive. | ||||||

>>With my other cars, the battery-indicator will go off once the ignition has been switched off. But with the Ferrari, the battery-indicator continues to light up even after the ignition key is removed, meaning that the power drain could be horrendous. << It just means the lighter is still availible for use with the key off. There is no drain except from your tool leds. | ||||||

Could you supply name/model/pricing/sourcing info on the battery indicator you mentioned? thx | ||||||

Due to the many reported battery-drain problems over Ferrari cars, I have resorted to using a 3rd party battery-indicator to check the condition of my battery. The battery-indicator plugs into the cigarette lighter, and you can tell the condition of the battery by looking at how many light bulbs along the range have lightened up. So far so good. But one thing I noticed. With my other cars, the battery-indicator will go off once the ignition has been switched off. But with the Ferrari, the battery-indicator continues to light up even after the ignition key is removed, meaning that the power drain could be horrendous. When I next take the 456 in for service, I am minded to install some kind of battery meters to monitor the battery condition. Is this advisable? Has anyone heard of that being done before? |
