    @tedd does that battery monitor just work as a basic voltage meter or does it work as a load tester and stress the battery?

    It monitors Battery voltage both in the short term and longer term so you can see any discharge over a period of time. The ‘strange’ readings from yesterday were because I was washing the car with doors/windows open and closed, and moving the car in and out of the sun. 
    Yes, it’s a bit of a one trick pony as it does have tests for cranking voltage and charging but the cranking voltage is a waste of time on a hybrid, and the charge test is pretty obvious if you look at it with the ignition on. 
    Works well for me though as I can get a reading from the front room/bedroom. 
    For me, the only ‘proper’ way to test a Battery is with a high rate discharge tester on a fully charged Battery - which I have. I also have a Foxwell Battery tester which injects an ac current into the Battery to test the impedence. Not as accurate imho, but can give a reasonable guide to the general condition of the Battery 👍🏻👍🏻

  2. If you don’t have a large data allowance on your phone, don’t forget to pair yours/wife’s/girlfriend’s/boyfriend’s/kid’s phones to the hotspot so you aren’t using your phone allowance. 

    I’ve put one in the RC and it is useful on longer journeys when her loveliness spends the time on youtube or watching films. 
    I use A Smarty sim and get 4Gb for the price of a poorly octopus. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
