Forscan Side Effects? Disabling Auto Stop_Start
To disable Auto S_S we disable BMS (Battery Management System). What is BMS and what are we doing when we disable it?
Thanks |

3+ years with BMS disabled, no side effects and still on the original factory battery. |
Thanks for you responses. Can anyone tell me what the BMS is actually supposed to do?

The BMS monitors the charge of the battery and controls the alternator charging. If it thinks the battery has enough charge it will stop the alternator output for the purpose of improving fuel economy. I saw no difference in fuel economy before and after. I turned mine off because I did not like that the battery might not be charging on a short trip. |
So the BMS is akin to the good old Voltage Regulator??? Showing my age now....
So is that the only thing it does? |

Don’t you guys also get a small warning light on your dash when the BMS is disabled? |
