Buck-boost flattened vehicle battery (possibly)

I parked my vehicle on a ferry car deck for 2 days (constant vibration) and the starter battery was almost fully discharged. Is it possible that the Buck-boost was fooled into remaining active by the vibration? If not, how does the Buck-boost decide to switch on and off?

Hi,

Sorry to hear about the flat battery.


Vibration detection plays a part in the starting algorithm of the buck/boost, it is also voltage dependant.

Full settings are visible on page 6 of the manual:
