    Mobile charger amperage limit

    Just an update: I charged for 8 hours on 13A. No problems. Thanks for the information and support!

    Mobile charger amperage limit

    I charged on 12A for two hours. The pins are a little bit warm to the touch but nothing substantial. Does it make sense to stop the charge and "let the charger rest" after x hours charging at 12A? Once again, my max charge is 13A, but for now I max it at 12A.

    Mobile charger amperage limit

    So the device can take up to 32A. Essentially what I'm getting is that I will not risk the device getting ruined again running on 13A, so the tesla rep who brought me the replacement charger was wrong. Is it normal that when charging on 13A the voltage (as seen on the screen) occasionally...

    Mobile charger amperage limit

    This is the one I got. In my country we get it with the car (we pay ~60,000 USD for the rwd version 😀). I got it with what they call a "Schuko adapter" rated for 13A max. My outlet is a standard 230V 16A.

    Mobile charger amperage limit

    Maybe I shouldn't have charged for 8+ hours on 13a? I used the new charger I got twice already. Started on 10a then went to 12a. Still too afraid to try 13a fearing it might fail again 🫢 Actually I tried once to up it from 10 to 13 from the app. The car stopped charging. I went down to the...

    Mobile charger amperage limit

    Thanks! Already did it multiple times. It was never too hot. Not even close to too hot to the touch. I wonder what caused this charger to fail...

    Safe to Wash a Tesla with RainX Spot Free Car Wash?

    I just got this and want to wash my model 3 highland. Unfortunately, after purchasing I read multiple 1 star amazon reviews saying it left an ugly film on the glass and body. Does anyone have some experience with this one? I really don't care about the "no wiping needed" etc. I only want to make...

    Mobile charger amperage limit

    Thanks, so I might ignore his 10A suggestion, seeing that it'll charge much slower: 230V * 13A = 3kwh (~5% per hour) 230V * 10A = 2.3kwh (~3.5% per hour)

    Mobile charger amperage limit

    Thanks! Just to make sure, couldn't it be something with my home wiring? Is there a time limit I should use for charging? I.e 6 hours and then stop charging for a while?

    Mobile charger amperage limit

    So 13A should be safe and it was probably a faulty unit? How long can I charge on 13a without worrying about it? I know it's a hard question but it seems you're much more familiar than me :)

    Thanks, but how is it different?

    Mobile charger amperage limit

    Thanks, but I've not once had a breaker tripping. It worked fine until it didn't. The red t on the charger started blinking 3 times (according to this official guide it is a relay/contactor fault). After some times it started blinking all green/red on the t and the support team said it was faulty.

    Mobile charger amperage limit

    I guessed so, I just worry that they may not replace it again within warranty if it fails. Not that they have a good reason to, but my experience with them in my country is quite bad. I don't even use it as my main charger, so I wonder what else could be the reason for it to fail after only 2...

    Mobile charger amperage limit

    Hi, I got my new tesla highland 3 months ago. I used the mobile charger once a week to top up my car when I'm away. After two months of usage the charger stopped working. I used to charge for about 8+ hours on 13A without any problem - no heating whatsoever. The guy from tesla that dropped the...
