I recently came back to my Insight after parking for three days to a dead battery (don't know if I left my headlights on or if the alarm went off). After getting the AAA guy to give me a jump, I noticed weird behavoir with the IMA. When I got in the car, naturally the SOC indicator was at zero. So I started driving and within a couple of minutes, it jumped all the way up to full (or close to it). Does anyone know exactly how the car manages power flow while parked? Did the power not actually flow out of the 144V'er, but rather the 12V'er?
Thanks.
Thanks.
