Thanks for the helpful overview. I’m in a 40d with the 48v system. I’ve read a lot of mild hybrid bashing on the forum and, IMO, it’s a good system that is almost invisibly integrated, especially the start/stop feature.
I tried charging the battery using a CTEK charger with the hood open. I didn’t get any error messages, but the charger box itself was very warm to the touch after running overnight, something I’ve never experienced with normal operation. Needless to say, I haven’t repeated the exercise. I haven’t tried charging with the hood closed, but the car doesn’t get parked for extended periods.
