I was wondering the same thing. One of the first Forscan mods I did was change the battery SOC from 80 to 95%. In the 4 months of ownership the vast majority of my drives are 10-15 miles and so far no issues at all with the 12v system. Any time I have looked at the voltage with the engine off with Forscan or CarScan app it's been at 12.7v. I'm guessing that because the hybrid battery acts like the alternator on the PB it does a better job at maintaining the 12v SOC level on short trips than traditional alternators do.Excellent video, I'd be curious to see how the PowerBoost handles this... can the traction battery keep the AGM topped up when the truck is off? Or can it supply enough current fast enough to offset the 12V demand during short drives?
