Just a quick heads up for those that put there GS or maybe others but that I have no idea, anyway basically when I connected my Optimate 4 in the past for a mini top-up of the battery due to crap weather, in the last few weeks, now I really did not need it, but I do it occasionally, and normally within a short while, the 2 green lights go solid GREEN, this time after nearly 3 days no solid green lights and Optimate was still pumping juice into the battery, no big deal it is only the 1 amp one, glad it was not 5 amps, so I thought what had I added, and thought immediately about the Dashcam, the VSYS P6FL, so I disconnected the RED power cable that goes to the VSYS, then plugged the Optimate back in, and in less than 15 minutes the Optimate was showing 2 solid GREEN lights, so all good, so basically it seems that the dashcam, will not let the Optimate trickle charge, it keeps it pulling a charge, so beware if you hook it up for winter, as the Optimate will not be in tender mode, it will keep charging the battery, and well possible fire or even explosion possible.
