I'd imagine 8v - 10v but that's just a guesstimate.

I had this problem. I had wired the supply from the live on the interior light. However the slow-dim feature was affecting the the power supply, and everytime I unlocked the car I got a low battery warning email.
So, I ran a separate cable direct from the battery and got no more issues. 2021 Defender 110 X-Dynamic HSE D300 MHEV 1966 S2a 109 aka Betsy 1968 S2a 88 aka Bob 2014 Jaaaag F Type 3.0 Supercharged. |

I dont recall this being an issue in the past, I think its just with the car being sat and not driven for a while its dropped voltage. A CTEK charger is on my list. I have heard that RING do a similar charger to a CTEK but the details are lacking for the RING one 1999 Defender TD5 110

There are two lives that go to the interior light, one is permanent and doesn't 'dim' |

Sorry to drag an old thread from the depths of the internet. My 110 has been away from me for a 7 days, I forgot to unplug the fridge that is connected to the aux battery. WHen I collected it yesterday the aux batt was flat. WHen I say flat I mean F A from it. My dash cam didn't fire up, my USB charging points were dead. Drove it home and checked the voltage. Showed 5.6V. I would of assumed that Skytag would of sent me text saying battery low or disconnected? Is this a reasonable expectation? I have mailed Skytag and their answer is a bit different to this. And doesn't give me peace of mind that my vehicle is being protected 100% of the time. This is on top of the 3hr wait to tell me that I've left my geozone. I only travelled across town, 12 miles at the most. Beginning to dislike Skytag at the moment. So now looking for alternatives. 110 D250 SE HT 110 USW SOLD RRE HSE Dynamic Gone, wife killed it VOLVO XC60 R Dynamic with some toys Polaris RZR 900XP SOLD |

It's not THAT old walfy...
I suppose it may depend on whether your SkyTag is connected to the main battery or the Aux...  Rog...

Is the Skytag attached to the Aux battery ? I would expect an alert either way, Might be worth getting Skytag to check the health of the battery/unit?
Just thinking, maybe the box had no network signal and then battery (aux) went flat, then drainied the Skytag battery and it took 3hrs to reach a suitale to charge? 1999 Defender TD5 110 Regards John M0VAZ Econet Station 48 no clock |
