I assume the amperage you are seeing is what the Neo is putting into the battery cells, and it will take what it needs from the car to achieve that, as long as there is enough voltage to be able to. So the amperage through the fuse at 13 volts would be rather more than the 9A at 15.1V into the cells...I asked in the previous reply, but wouldn't a damaged/corroded wire or connector cause both amperage and voltage drops? The amperage draw on the CellLink Neo is stable during the first couple minutes of ignition.
Seems you are losing a bit of voltage in several places and it all adds up to be too much loss.Does this mean somewhere between the fusebox and the inline fuse, there is a corroded connector or damaged wire?
So the question is really, what has got worse to take it over the limit and generate the error?
You could try cleaning and remaking the connections.
If you have used crimp connectors then you could try remaking them with new crimps and add some solder to ensure good connections.
That is rather low, with a well charged battery I would expect it to settle down to around 13.8 across the battery terminals. 13.3 would be reasonable if the car battery is over half empty, and if you are using an Neo then the car battery should not be half empty.When the car battery settles down to 13.3V after the first couple minutes,...
I think you should explain why you only have 13.3 volts before touching anything...
Maybe a dying battery?
Maybe a dying alternator/in need of new brushes?
Maybe that is not measured across the battery terminals?
Maybe it is being heavily discharged by something?
