ANCEL reports low charge
I’m confused. Battery shows 12.49v but shows low charge of 65%. I installed the Ancel BM300 Pro yesterday.

Too many shitty drivers out there. Be careful.

12b battery question
Subject line typo - should be 12v
So I topped up my 12v with a 3A battery tender. Upon unhooking, I measured the voltage via a multimeter and it is reading at 13.5v.
I did a few errands today in a span of 1.5 hrs. Two short trips with two shutting off the car, and 3rd run with a stop with the car on READY, and parked for about 10m.
Came home (overall trip 20km), and measured the voltage it is at 12.75v.
Is this normal? Assuming the 12v is used a bit during a drive.
TIA.

Rust proofing
Live in Ontario, Canada. Anyone rust proofed their BZ? I’d you did, what did you go with?

Adding an SAE connector
I’m trying to add an SAE connector and when I tried to loosen the bolt circled, it seems to get very tight near the top end of the screw post. I didn’t want to further unscrew it fearing it may damage something. Also on the positive terminal, there are two 10mm bolts as well. When I tried to loosen the bolt, the plastic portion seem to flex and it’s bolted tight.
Has anyone added an SAE quick connector for tender use?
This is not my pic. Just used someone’s battery pic post.
Thanks.

Homelink programming
Well that took several tries to get it working. Look at YouTube videos, cracked open the manual. The last resort was scanning the QR code link.
It wasn’t as straight forward as it seems.

Toyota BZ Spare
Does anyone know if the Crown Signia spare tire rim will fit the BZ? Crown Signia also uses a lug bolt with the same pattern, but I'm not sure if the inside wheel diameter will clear the calipers of the BZ. PN 4261B-30010.

Jack pads
For the tire change DIYers, what jack pads do you recommend for the BZ? Are you using your legacy alligator jacks with pads meant for EVs? If so, your recommendations? Thank you.

Lights out on main street/bullock/Snyder
Please be careful, traffic lights out since the storm. It is easy to miss the lights out and should be treated as a 4 way. I don’t know why the lights did not default to blinking red mode.

Red light is green light?
Warden + Huntingwood distracted driver? The turn signal was on when the driver changed lane and didn’t disengaged the turn. Looks like they were shocked or was informed by some in the cabin about running the red light. DFDX 183.

Bur Oak + Mingay collision
Time stamp on my dashcam is incorrect. Should be 8:13am. White CRV making a left, semi truck on opposite lane making a left. CRV proceeded to make a left (blindly) as the semi was obstructing view, consequently collides with a black Mercedes SUV going straight. Definitely the white CRV at fault.
Circled back and offered to the Mercedes driver dashcam video.

Who else is waiting for their BZ?
Ordered 4/3 still waiting for a delivery date. How long did you wait from ordering till you picked it up?
Been told a 3 month wait.
I wonder if some dealers are getting less allocations as they are family owned.

Looks like $5000 has been extended for another month. Here’s hoping it extends through June. Still waiting for my XLE AWD.
