tossing around the problem regarding the computer staying in standy while the car is off
it seems to be no problem if you drive your car every 1-2 days but at times i dont drive my car for longer than that

i thought maybe i could rely on my opus psu to release power to the system once the battery dipped below 11v but i talked to someone from opus and they stated that this feature only works when the computer is in the on state
very dissapointing


any ideas regarding this problem?

i could just turn off the computer but..meh

Hibranate instead of stand-by? Worth a shot.

I think if you don't drive your car for long periods of time, you should give up on the hope of using standby. As neutral said, hibernate is a good alternative.

You could also try some type of standalone low-voltage cutoff connected in series before the Opus, but you will have to sit through a longer full bootup whenever it gets tripped.

edit: I just noticed where you live aoLhaTer, and I am jealous! MB is one of my favorite places in the world!

hibernate takes just about as long to come up as powering down and up does

i wish opus put in functionality to preserve battery even when the comp was in standby
