Battery Voltage

[magnum555]

Saw this in the hidden menu screen does anybody know what IB is and do the figures look right?

[ecain63]

V = voltage
I = current
R = resistance

Etc.

Question answered?

[magnum555]

Still not sure what IB is.

[ecain63]

Battery current (IB)
Battery voltage (VB)

Presumably its negative when the battery is being discharged (ie engine not run, but some electrics on) and positive when driving and the alternator is charging the battery....or it could be the other way round!

Nope, dont think it works that way. Clever idea and good chain of thought.
