i'm not sure what is causing this problem.
occasionally i'll be driving and it just seems like the car doesn't want to charge while cruising at all. and i'm not talking about when the battery is nearly full, but with only 3 or 4 bars left.
i thought maybe it was trying to be "intelligent" and detect my aggressive driving behavior so it would not charge in anticipation of some much needed acelleration or something.
i also thought maybe it was due to the fact that i was low on gas sometimes and it was maybe trying to run the battery dry... but then i noticed it did it when the gas was full too.
during this time, the only way i could get it to charge would be when i was coasting or applying brakes, and even when applying brakes with a lot of momentum it wouldn't have the charging gauge maxed out but only partially charging when normally it would be fully charging.
then i'll turn the car on another time and jump in and it works perfectly fine, charges like normal. what do you guys think the problem is???
