reflash question

[ayayron212]

is it advised to have your car battery plugged to a charger when uploading/ reflashing a tune? I only ask as I done numerous reflashes over the last few months and I had to have new battery fitted yesterday as on my last reflash (completed luckily) the car would not start up, Honda say that having the car in accessory mode for 10-15mins a time can significantly drained the battery.

anyone else experience this?

The warning message which you have to click "Yes" to before flashing begins specifically recommends this.

"NOTICE: PLEASE MAKE SURE YOUR LAPTOP IS NOT IN POWER SAVING MODE. A BATTERY CHARGER IS RECOMMENDED FOR THE VEHICLE."

I followed the instructions but my laptop was in 15 percent and half way through it went into battery saving mode .. is that bad ?

If you failed a flash that might be the reason. If you successfully flashed I'm not sure what the basis for the question is.

It was more then 15% it just went down to that after the first time it failed then second time it went through but towards the end it went down to 15
