    i wonder
    when i put 12 volt on the battery monitor thats in the back of the car with the HV battery
    will it then start transmitting messages on the canbus
    even when the car is off.

    this way i can monitor the HV battery SOC with a laptop or pc and control a external charger by software.

    anyone tried it already? or wants to try?
