If needed, get a good charging unit with a 50-foot cord. This is where it shows all of the apps that are open at the time. If needed, they do make specific charging units that are designed to be outside in any weather. If your bakery story becomes frozen on an ipod, iphone, or ipad, exit the app so that you are on your home screen, then double click the button on the ipad/pod/phone, so that it opens multitask. Imho, one of the best solutions that I've seen so far is:ģ) Most charging units should always be covered/protected. Yes, it often isn't simple to just clean the snow off and disconnect the charger. You don't want any condensation to collect on the contacts.Ģ) Yes, having over a foot of snow on the car, and burying the charger is a PITA! You can buy a receptacle/holder on Amazon cheaply. Yes, people should try to keep the car's charge port area clean and dry as reasonable.ġ) ALWAYS plug the charger handle into a receptacle! In fact, USB is a great example of live insertion/removal.
In fact, the voltage is shut off well before the latch lifts up enough to release the handle.įwiw, "live insertion" has been around for a while. When taking the charger off the car, as soon as the person pulls the handle release, that will also immediately shut off any high voltage. That's done over the small 5V contacts - that's voltage similar to 3 AAA batteries. The car has to talk to the charger, and the charger has to talk to the car. Initially, there isn't any high voltage or AC on the big contacts. One option you have is to back up your iPhone to iCloud. Some of the suggestions ahead involve wiping your iPhone's storage completely, so this will add an extra layer of safety to your troubleshooting. I did look very deeply into the charging specifications, how the chargers and vehicles worked, etc.įirst, I'm assuming TOP QUALITY CHARGERS connected to proper circuits. Prior to moving forward with the repair process, it will be very helpful to save a backup of your iPhone saved somewhere. Semi quickly, when EV chargers came out, "they went against everything I learned and taught in Electrical Engineering". Here is a link to a thread on this and my post has further explanations and pictures of the outdoor enclosures. Small covers are made for this.Īns finally the circuit should be GFI protected and well grounded. Same goes for any connection to an extension cord. You really want a large cover that has room to close over the charger plug. This is not the little flip up cover installed on most home which just protects it when it has nothing plugged into it.
If powered from outside, you should have a NEMA rated cover that covers the receptacle when it is in use. If you’re using a receptacle inside your garage then no problem just keep the brick off the floor. So your idea of a bonnet, while not required, wouldn’t hurt. The brick is water resistant but not immersible. There is no problem plugging into the car in the rain (manual says don’t stand in a puddle and dry your hands, also think of all the public chargers out in the open) but you should keep water away from the brick and especially it’s connection to the electrical outlet or properly rated extension cord plug (not recommended in manual).
I was concerned about that too as I charged with the Level1 until my ChargePoint was installed or to be brutally honest, until I got my garage cleaned out.
